The visioning process to create a community park and gathering place at the Sunset/Boeing Creek Park site is about to begin!
Please mark your calendars and plan to participate in four engaging and interactive community meetings to help create a community plan for the use and development of the Sunset site:
• January 19, 2010, 6:00-8:00 pm
• February 23, 2010, 6:00-8:00 pm
• March 6, 2010, 9:00-4:00 pm (Community Design Workshop)
• April 6, 2010, 6:00-8:00 pm
All of the meetings will be held at First Lutheran Richmond Beach, 18354 8th Ave. NW, Shoreline.
The community meetings will be facilitated by the Pomegranate Center, a leading nonprofit organization devoted to community-generated design and development and an internationally recognized leader in developing neighborhood gathering places.
Strong participation in the community meetings is essential for a successful visioning process, so please plan to come — and pass this email on to friends and neighbors you know care about the future of the Sunset site.

Greg Testa was named the Men's Soccer Player of the Week at Shoreline Community College. Testa scored the winning goal against Skagit Valley College on Saturday that propelled the Dolphins into the host position for the first round of the NWAACC playoffs that start on Wednesday. SCC faces Highline Community College at 2:00 pm on Wednesday at the SCC Soccer Field. Testa is a freshman from Ballard High School in Seattle. Shoreline City Council challenger Shari Tracey widened her lead over Councilwoman Cindy Ryu in recent ballot counts. Tracey now leads Ryu by 400 votes and continues to hold 51 percent of the vote. Candidate Will Hall expanded his lead over opponent Patty Hale to 981 votes. Hall holds 53 percent of the vote. Challenger Christopher Roberts expanded his lead over Councilman Ron Hansen, and Councilman Keith McGlashan held 82 percent of the the vote against write-in candidate Wendy DiPeso.
The apparent defeats of Ryu and Hansen and of Councilwoman Janet Way in the primary mean that McGlashan will be the only incumbent re-elected, and the first re-elected in four years.

Shoreline City Council candidate Will Hall continued to widen his lead over opponent Patty Hale Friday afternoon.
Hall now leads Hale by 722 votes compared to 448 votes Wednesday and 413 votes Tuesday.
Hall now has 53 percent of the vote to 47 percent for Hale.
The two are competing for the position now held by Councilwoman Janet Way, who finished third in the August primary. Hale finished first in the primary, but Way asked her supporters to back Hall.
The returns come from 13,962 Shoreline voters. That's almost 90 percent of the 15,565 people who voted in the last City election.
Officials had counted ballots from 41 percent of registered Shoreline voters. Voter turnout was 51 percent in the election two years ago.

Editorial: Lessons to take away from this year's political candidates
Last night a park visitor was killed by falling debris at Hamlin Park during the windstorm. The accident occurred after dark in the southeast corner of the park near the ADA walkway that leads from the parking lot off of 25th NE to fields #5 and #6. The top of what appears to be a healthy mature white pine apparently broke off in the storm and struck a gentleman while walking in the park with his wife and dog.
Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

My business, Rosewood Guitar, located at 84th and Greenwood sustained major smoke and water damage resulting from an arson fire early Thursday morning. Firefighters were fighting another arson only 5 blocks away when they received the call from our alarm company at about 4:15 am.According to news reports, a man walking his dog in Hamlin Park on Thursday evening, November 5, was killed by a falling tree.
Update: Statement by Dick Deal, Director of Shoreline Parks, Recreational and Cultural Services.
The second arson fire to hit a Greenwood neighborhood business in a week threatened The Rosewood Guitar, owned by Shoreline community activist Bill Clements, on Thursday morning, November 5. According to reports, the fire was extinguished before the shop was damaged.
Read more...Congratulations on the launch of this website. I worked in the news business more than 30 years and am convinced that neighborhood and city websites are more important than ever.
Newspapers and broadcasters long ago began phasing out news about communities and are struggling to even stay alive. The only way, then, for us to communicate what's happening 'close to the ground' is to do it ourselves.
You are extremely fortunate to have Evan Smith and Diane Hettrick involved as they are good and credible reporters and writers.
You - the community - now have the means to get the news out, link to others in your city, and (I would hope) eventually advertise your business to thousands of readers.
I live in Edmonds but am interested in what's happening in our neighboring towns, so I will be reading with interest. I will also be jealous that we have nothing like it in Edmonds.
Onward!
