Closure of N 145th Street extended to early 2025

Saturday, September 21, 2024

The long-term closure of N 145th Street between 1st Avenue NE and I-5 in Shoreline has been extended to early 2025. 

The closure is part of the City of Shoreline’s 145th Street Corridor and 145th Street and I-5 Interchange projects

The road was closed on April 2, 2024, so crews could relocate utilities prior to construction of roundabouts on either side of Interstate 5. We expected to reopen the road in November 2024, but due to the complexity of the work and other unforeseen delays, we must extend the closure. Underground utility conflicts and unforeseen existing conditions will take additional time to work through. 

To this point, utility crews have been relocating infrastructure while construction crews widen the roadway. This includes continuing the planned removal of trees west of I-5. Construction activities will continue within the closure limits and on the 145th corridor. 

When the closure ends, construction will continue into 2025 and expand to the intersection of 5th Avenue and the northbound I-5 off-ramp. Weekly construction updates are available at Engage Shoreline: 145th Corridor Projects.

While we know the extended closure and ongoing construction is inconvenient in the short term, the long-term benefits of the 145th Street Corridor Project are significant. 

Once complete, the project will provide a safer and more accessible route for all forms of transportation. The new roundabouts, updated lanes, pedestrian crossings, and bike lanes will reduce congestion, enhance safety, and create a more connected community. It will also provide easier access to the Link light rail Shoreline South/148th Street Station.

At this time the length of the closure extension has not been determined. The city’s construction management team is working with the contractor and other agencies regarding the new road opening date, and we will communicate this once it is determined. 

This is a complex project involving multiple agencies that must all work together. If one part is delayed, it can have a cascading effect on the rest of the project timeline.

Getting around the closure

The pedestrian and bicycle detour was recently shifted to provide better access through the work zone via a combination of N 145th and NE 147th Streets. Details about detours, timeline, and construction activities will continue to be posted on our project webpage.

People traveling by vehicle east and west between 1st Avenue NE and I-5 will continue to detour and use N 155th Street or N 130th Street. I-5 on- and off-ramps will be open, but only accessible from the east side of the closure. 

Travelers can expect occasional overnight closures of these ramps, but they will mostly remain open. 

Please continue to be attentive and drive with caution around the work zone and through the detour. 

Travelers and people living in the area are encouraged to sign up for email updates for the 145th Improvements Projects.
Questions and concerns
If you have questions or concerns about construction or the project, you can call the 24-hour construction hotline or send an email.

Crashes rise while trees come down as construction starts on 145th

Saturday, March 30, 2024

By Oliver Moffat

On Sunday, January 7, 2024 Shoreline resident and college student Khondakar Hossain was riding his scooter eastbound along 145th street when he was hit by a vehicle near the Sunnyside intersection.

The driver of the vehicle fled the scene and has not been caught by police. Hossain is recovering from his injuries.

Data from the WSDOT crash data portal shows annual fatal and serious injury crashes in Shoreline
So far in 2024, Shoreline Area News has reported on three crashes along 145th street: a collision involving a pedestrian, a multi-vehicle crash and the hit-and-run involving Hossain.

As reported on KUOW and The Seattle Times, 2023 was the deadliest year for traffic fatalities in Washington State since 1990.

A map from the WSDOT collision data portal shows the locations of ten years of crashes along 145th and nearby roads
The statistics are grim for crashes that kill or leave people with life altering injuries in Shoreline.

According to data collected from WSDOT, for the five years before 2019, the city had 54 fatal and serious injury crashes. But that rate jumped starting in 2019. For the five years before 2024, there were 96 serious injury and deadly crashes in Shoreline - a 78% increase.

On Sunday, March 24, activists with Tree Action Seattle and Save Shoreline Trees gathered near the site of the hit-and-run that left Hossain injured in 145th street.

With construction equipment parked nearby, the activists gathered to call attention to the loss of 317 trees that will be removed to make way for improvements the city says will make 145th street safer.

Kathleen Russel from Save Shoreline Trees acknowledge the group may be too late to stop tree removals of the first phase of construction, but she said, the group will be seeking to “put a pause on the next segments” to try and save additional trees. She said the group does not oppose sidewalks but would like the city to build around the trees.

The city acknowledges that the project will have significant tree impacts. But says, “We are balancing these impacts with our need to address the biggest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Shoreline – transportation. This project helps further our goal of creating dense, walkable communities around transit.”
The city plans to replace the removed trees with 864 new trees.

With the light-rail station opening at 145th street this year, the city expects increased pedestrian and cyclist traffic. To make the roadway safer for all users, the 145th project will add a wider sidewalk and roundabouts.

According to multiple sources including the city, WSDOT, AARP, and the Federal Highway Administration, roundabouts reduce traffic jams, are better for the environment, cost less over the long run and are safer for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

A map from the city’s website shows the roundabouts coming to I-5 and 145th

Construction of phase one between I-5 to Corliss begins on April 1; information on the road closure is available on the city’s website.

The city of Shoreline will be hosting a public presentation on the 145th Corridor Project on Wednesday April 3 from 7pm to 8:30pm

The 145th project team will discuss the construction schedule, roundabouts, and benefits of the project. Residents can attend in person at city hall or join online. The presentation is part of Shoreline’s monthly CityLearn program which gives residents an opportunity to learn about, ask questions and discuss important local topics with city staff and council members.

On Monday April 15, the city council will hold a public hearing and discuss Shoreline’s Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP). The city updates the TIP each year serves as a six-year roadmap for transportation projects in the city.

145th Street and I-5 Interchange online open house and online presentation

Thursday, November 5, 2020


The interchange at 145th Street and I-5 greatly influences how traffic moves along 145th Street through Shoreline. 

With the arrival in 2024 of Sound Transit Link light rail and the new Shoreline South / 145th Station for light rail and bus transit, Shoreline residents and regional travelers need safe, efficient ways to connect to these facilities and to an expanding pedestrian and bike network.

To address these needs, the City of Shoreline and WSDOT, in cooperation with Sound Transit, the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and King County Metro, plan to replace the signalized intersections on either side of I-5 with roundabouts and update lane configurations on the bridge over I-5. 

These improvements will address today’s and future transportation needs, reduce traffic congestion, and improve safety and access along the corridor for decades to come.

More information about the project here: shorelinewa.gov/145interchange

2019 November election results and the impacts to Shoreline: Shoreline Proposition 1 and I-976

Wednesday, November 20, 2019

From the City of Shoreline

Over the next several months, the City will discuss how the results of the November election will affect our community.

Passage of Initiative 976 (I-976) will place a significant strain on our transportation programs and the wider City budget as we search for ways to absorb the annual loss of more than $1.6 million from the City’s street and sidewalk maintenance and preservation programs. 

Failure of Shoreline Proposition 1 will require the Council and the community to have tough discussions about aquatics programming offered by the City and future investments in parks and City recreation facilities.

Shoreline Proposition 1

With an approval vote of 54%, Shoreline Proposition 1 failed. Because Prop. 1 was a bond measure, it required a 60% approval rate to pass. Over the past several years, hundreds of Shoreline residents have contributed to the discussion on developing the proposed Shoreline Aquatics, Recreation, and Community Center and on making improvements to our parks.

Whether you voted to approve or reject the proposition, we want to thank Shoreline residents for taking the time to learn about the issue, provide their input, and vote. As we work to identify a new path forward that will meet the needs of our growing community, we hope that those who supported and opposed the Proposition stay engaged and continue to contribute to the discussion.

Using the extensive input from the public and taking all the different community needs and interests into account, the Council felt it put the best option forward. Council will now begin to evaluate the results of the election and determine what next steps, if any, they should take regarding future investments in park improvements and the City’s recreation facilities.

Council will need to make some tough decisions regarding the Shoreline Pool. The repairs we made to the Pool in 2015 were meant to be temporary and not last much more than five to seven years.

Even with the $750,000 investment in 2015, the City has been experiencing increasing maintenance costs at the pool as it is over 50 years old and the pool systems and building structure are nearing the end of their useful lives. 

In 2019 alone, the City has seen pool repair costs exceed $125,000. Council will need to evaluate whether it makes economic sense to put further investment into the existing pool, refine options for a new facility, or decide not to provide aquatic programs in the long-term.

Until the School District decides to use the Spartan Recreation Center for other purposes, it will continue to operate as it does today. As the need for repairs arise, Council will have to determine how much to invest in an aging facility we do not own.

State, regional, and local transportation funding face cuts under I-976

Passage of I-976 eliminates Shoreline’s ability to charge a vehicle license fee (VLF) for transportation purposes.


  • In 2009, City Council adopted a $20 VLF to help fund the maintenance of Shoreline streets on a regular schedule. Over time, this has helped us preserve our streets and avoid more costly road replacements that can be the result of deferred maintenance. 
  • Council passed the other $20 VLF in 2018 for the repair and maintenance of our existing sidewalk network. 

I-976 does not affect the new sidewalk sales tax measure approved by Shoreline voters in 2018. The new sidewalk program will be able to move ahead as expected.


The combined fees generated approximately $1.6 million per year. The loss of that funding affects the entire transportation program, as well as other City programs and services, as we will need to find that funding elsewhere in the budget or reduce or eliminate these maintenance programs.

The City Council is already considering nearly $1.3 million in budget holds including delaying equipment purchases, redirecting funds for park improvements, and reallocating projected budget savings towards the City’s annual road surface maintenance program.

Passage of I-976 will also significantly affect State transportation funding, particularly for transit and paratransit. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), working with the State Legislature, will need to make decisions about how to maintain state highways, provide transportation options for individuals with disabilities, and more. State funding for local transportation projects, including ones in Shoreline, may be called into question in the coming months.

I-976 will also cut King County Metro funding, which in turn could affect routes serving Shoreline.

Finally, Sound Transit (ST) has indicated that the impacts to funding from I-976 will be significant as well.

While it is unlikely to impact the 2024 opening of light rail in Shoreline, other ST projects or programs, such as Bus Rapid Transit that is planned to serve our Shoreline South/145th Station, may be affected.

There is yet much to be determined about the impacts of this Initiative. Shoreline staff will be keeping an eye on developments and providing updated Shoreline-related information as we learn it.

145th Rezone documents released: wetland and stream assessment, high groundwater or peat conditions

Friday, February 19, 2016

Critical areas
Paramount Open Space
The City of Shoreline has commissioned additional technical analysis for the 145th Street Station Subarea Plan, consisting of two technical memoranda, which will be incorporated as an addendum to the Draft Environmental Impact Statement issued January 2015.

The first memo is a Wetland and Stream Assessment for areas near Twin Ponds Park and Paramount Open Space, and the second outlines Geotechnical Considerations for High Groundwater or Peat Conditions.


The wetlands and streams assessment and related mapping has helped to clarify the expected limits of streams, wetlands, and buffers in the Paramount Open Space and Twin Ponds Park areas. 
The City may determine, after review of the assessment, to either include these land areas in the rezoning alternatives or to retain these areas in their existing zoning of single family R6. 
Public park lands would be retained in open space/park use in both rezoning alternatives. 
As such, decision-making will focus on whether or not to rezone properties outside the publicly-owned park and open space lands that appear to contain portions of wetlands, streams, and associated buffer areas.

Critical areas
Twin Ponds Park
Although not required, the City is offering a 30 day comment period on this addendum, and will accept comments through Monday, March 21 at 5:00pm.

The Planning Commission will be considering how to move forward with the rezoning alternatives analyzed in the DEIS (and further evaluated in the FEIS) and identification of a preferred alternative for the subarea. 
As part of this ongoing decision-making process, the Planning Commission may recommend to either include land areas with potential wetlands, streams, and buffers in the rezoning alternatives or to retain these areas in their existing zoning of single family R6.
It is recommended that the Planning Commission continue to include the properties surrounding the Paramount Open Space and Twin Ponds Park areas in the two rezoning alternatives. 

All the details for this reasoning are in these documents.

Send comments to Miranda Redinger by email or mail to 17500 Midvale Avenue N, Shoreline, WA 98133.

Proposed changes to 145th to be revealed at Open House

Saturday, February 13, 2016

A design concept for 145th from the 9-30-2015 open house

145th, from the freeway to Bothell Way, will be a major traffic corridor for the new Sound Transit station planned for 145th.

It is one of only two major routes from Lake Forest Park to I-5. Right now it is a narrow, two-lane road bordering a residential area. Shopping areas make for challenging intersections at 15th NE and at Bothell Way.

As the dividing line between Shoreline and Seattle, the ownership of the road is a complexity of shared space.

It is high-traffic, accident-prone, and lacking in safe and accessible sidewalks.

Shoreline transportation planners have been working on changes to the road for a year and have held two previous open houses to share their work.

The third and final open house for the 145th Street Multimodal Corridor Study will be on Wednesday, February 24, 2016 from 6 - 8pm (presentation at 6:30pm) at Shorecrest High School, 15343 25th Ave NE, Shoreline 98155.

At this time, a draft preferred concept for the corridor will be presented and the project team would like to hear your comments.

Additional information can be found here

Shoreline Preservation Society public meeting with land use attorneys re the 145th Corridor

Sunday, December 6, 2015

Shoreline Preservation Society is sponsoring a meet up with noted Land Use Attorneys Barbara Dykes-Ehrlichman and Tom Ehrlichman on Tuesday, December 8th, at the American Legion Hall, 14521 17th Ave NE, from 7-9pm.

The City of Shoreline is undertaking a corridor study of the 145th St right-of-way in order to address the safety and traffic problems inherent there and to propose improvements.

Widening the road to include sidewalks, bicycle lanes, and possible additional lanes will affect the households that front 145th and would require some degree of property acquisition.

• How will your home or property be affected? • What are your rights?

Shoreline Public Works Department webpage states:

“The redevelopment of the 145th Street corridor promises to be a significant and complex capital improvement project in the City of Shoreline. The study will include development of a master plan for the proposed improvements to the corridor. The study process will evaluate several options for accommodating multiple travel modes, including vehicles, buses, pedestrians, cyclists, and freight.”

If you go to the 145th Corridor Study page, you can read about the open house. There are links to the display boards, the presentation, and a feedback opportunity through an online comment form. This form asks your opinion of the importance of several aspects of the corridor (multiple choice questions). There is also a general feedback box at the end of the form. 

Online commenting is only available through Sunday, October 11.

Information from 145th Corridor study meeting

Wednesday, October 7, 2015

For those who were not able to attend the open house on September 30, the City of Shoreline now has those materials and video of the presentation available on the project webpage.

There is also a link to participate in the citizen exercise for those who have not already done so (anyone who participated at the open house has already had their input recorded and we ask they do not duplicate).  That link will only be available through October 11.

In order to receive future notifications about upcoming open houses, go to the City of Shoreline home page and click on Alert Shoreline in the right hand column. You will be able to manage the topics for which you receive notifications. Information will also always be available on the project webpage.
