What’s Happening This Week in Shoreline: September 2 - 8

September is here, and so is Labor Day weekend, the unofficial end of “summer” in the PNW. Slow down and reconnect with nature at Kruckeberg Botanic Garden with Guided Forest Bathing or a Shorelake Arts family-friendly woodland art workshop. 

On Saturday, Shoreview Park transforms into a cyclocross course for a fast-paced day of racing, and you can wrap up the evening looking to the skies at Paramount Park Stargazing. Add in farmers markets, the annual Ikebana Exhibition at Sky Nursery, a community resource fair, and plenty of opportunities to connect with neighbors, it’s a great week to rest and reconnect.
