Host a block party for National Night Out - Tuesday, August 1

2016 National Night Out party in Shoreline
Photo by Steven H. Robinson

National Night Out is based on the concept that when neighbors know each other, the community is safer. Single blocks organize a potluck which is held on the street or a front yard on August 1 each year.

In Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, police and fire units do their best to visit every registered party, interacting with the neighbors and letting the kids see the fire trucks up close.

Whether this is already a long-standing tradition on your block, or if you have been thinking about getting to know your neighbors, consider participating this year.

Registering your party is easy and city staff will help you with the paperwork to close your street.

In Lake Forest Park, the police are the contact:

Registration Forms are available at the Police Department or online:
NNO Coordinator: Casey Krzyminski
Lake Forest Park Police Department
206-364-8216 x 523
Email: casey@ci.lake-forest-park.wa.us


In Shoreline, the Office of Neighborhoods is the contact:

Registration is required for all parties, including permitted events involving street closures. By registering, we count you in Shoreline's official Night Out Crime Prevention efforts and map your event. Whether you hold your event on the official Night Out evening or you choose a different date, these simple steps will make your registration process quick and easy.
  • A permit is usually required if you hold an activity in the street or close the street. The permit application for street closure on NNO is available online. Contact City of Shoreline Permit Services at 206-801-2500 regarding requirements. 
  • Registration and permit applications must be received by Tuesday, July 18 for August 1 events. Meeting this deadline will also ensure you are in the drawing for either a police or fire crew visit, if possible.

The Seahawks were ahead of their time

Gentle Yoga class at Richmond Beach Yoga


By Pam Brown, Instructor
Richmond Beach Yoga

Yoga is something many people have appreciated for centuries. Its arrival in the USA and popularity has grown steadily over the decades. The Seahawks value yoga so highly that they made it a mandatory part of their training regimen since 2013. But, solid scientific studies and proof have been scarce.

A recent study by the National Institutes of Health, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, June 20, 2017 supports yoga’s value and benefit as a remedy for chronic low back pain. This study followed 320 patients with chronic low back pain. A pain almost every American adult experiences in their lifetime.

A fundamental 12 week Yoga program improved the participant’s pain equal to the improvements patients gained from physical therapy. The positive results lasted at least one year. The full study can be found here

“We are very excited about this study. This month, we had students coming to the studio telling us about this study. The students were happy to hear medical science supports their beliefs of the great benefits of yoga on many levels,” explains Rob Kovacevic, owner of Richmond Beach Yoga Studio

Movement, breathing and meditation were all included in the study. Benefits to participants were found for all elements. The Seahawks offer meditation as an option along with movement and breathing exercises to their players. Many players, including Quarterback Russell Wilson have extolled yoga’s benefits and virtues for years.

Yoga studios are often trying to keep up with the latest trends, such as power yoga, hot yoga and even goat yoga. It turns out, according to science, maybe a simple combo of yoga movement, yoga breathing and mindfulness is the answer.

“We offer a variety of yoga classes incorporating many aspects of the study. Breathing, short meditation, and deliberate movement all to encourage and support mindfulness. 
"Our gentle classes are designed to keep people moving and meet students’ needs at various levels. Throughout the class, modifications are offered to accommodate each student’s abilities. Yoga isn’t just for the stretchy people anymore. We see everyone benefit from yoga. 
"I just can’t say enough good things about how it helps older people move better, middle-aged people reduce stress and younger people be strong and balanced. There is something for everyone,” explains Kristen Stevens, gentle yoga instructor at Richmond Beach Yoga Studio.

Pete Carroll, head coach of the Seahawks, adopted yoga for his team training four years before this study came out. The Seahawks players have spoken widely of their appreciation of yoga starting in 2013. Of course we fans know, they won the Superbowl in 2014. A coincidence? Maybe not.

They just want to keep you alive - stay off the tracks

Saltwater Park
Photo by Steven H. Robinson
Trespassing on railroad tracks is a common and extremely dangerous practice, especially during summer in beach areas adjacent to train tracks.

According to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), 994 pedestrian rail trespass casualties (fatalities + injuries) occurred in 2016. About every 3 hours a person or vehicle is struck by a train in the U.S.

Since 2012 there have been 82 fatalities on railroad tracks in Washington State with another 21 in that time frame that were ruled a suicide, for a total of 103.

Trespassing on train tracks is also a crime classified as Criminal Trespass 2nd Degree, which is a misdemeanor in Washington State and is punishable with up to 90 days in jail and up to a $1,000 fine.

A campaign kicked off this weekend to make people aware of the risks of walking on or crossing railroad tracks.

The campaign is a partnership between police with BNSF Railway, Amtrak and Sound Transit (King County Sheriff’s Office).

On Saturday, July 15, officers patrolled from 3 – 7pm near tracks from Golden Gardens to Richmond Beach looking for trespassers.

People found on the tracks received a warning. This is the first of four total outreach days this summer that will happen on beaches from Tacoma to Everett.

Issue statements from Shoreline Council candidates in the primary

Evan Smith
By Evan Smith

Shoreline City Council candidates Carolyn Ahlgren, Susan Chang, and Bergith Kayyali recently sent statements about what they think are the most important issues in the election.

The three are running in the August 1 primary for the position that Shari Winstead is leaving. The top two vote getters qualify for the November 7 general election ballot.

Here are their statements in the order that their names appear on the ballot:

City of Shoreline, Council Position 5

Susan Chang

The major issues facing the City of Shoreline include planning for the opening of two light rail stations in 2023, siting and construction of a new aquatics and community / senior center, inadequate sidewalks and lack of a complete sidewalk and bicycle network, the need for additional parks, funding to repair and replace aging infrastructure, and bringing new businesses and economic development to Shoreline. The residents of Shoreline expect a high level of service from their City government, and it will be important for us to find ways to preserve and enhance the qualities of the City that brought so many of us here, while being mindful of affordability for all residents.

Bergith Kayyali

* Reopen the rezone, fix the mistakes, cut the size of the area, and get it right. Save Shoreline from unsustainable growth, which would double our population. Include the people by going to their neighborhoods and listen to them.

* Be responsive to the need for mental-health and substance-abuse services.

* Provide support for a diverse population.

* BRING CREATIVE thinking to Aurora Square. Enhance Boeing Creek by daylighting the wetlands of one of the headwaters and work with developers who are willing to bring new thinking to development.

* Attract businesses that believe in sustainability and in being part of a total community.

* IMPROVE bus transportation, parking, roads and walkways BEFORE any major increases in population/density occur.

* Require that the Point Wells project NOT negatively impact Shoreline.

Carolyn Ahlgreen

I am running here because we have specific transit oriented development associated with the two light-rail stations being built that we need to adequately and appropriately plan. Our current city council has approved a development plan that completely diverges from the study and proposal that BAE Urban Economics came up with for reasons unknown to the people who will be most impacted by that very development. The citizens have been shut out of the process, threatened with arrest, and essentially told they are idiots and don't know anything. That the folks on city council know best.

You do not treat your constituency that way.

Volunteers to restore stream habitat in Twin Ponds park - come help

Make me pretty again
Twin Ponds invasive overgrowth


Thornton Creek, in the southern end of Twin Ponds Park, will be the site of a volunteer work party on Saturday, July 22 from 10:00am to 1:00pm.

Stewards trained in environmental restoration by the Washington Native Plant Society are leading this event to recover valuable habitat along the creek.

This riparian and wetland area once sheltered spawning salmon and still hosts a few beautiful native shrubs beneath the mounds of invasive weeds. The restoration team expects that the area will again host more birds, frogs, small fish and mammals, flowering shrubs, willow trees and much more. 

Volunteers attending work parties will help clear the invasive weeds and plant beneficial native plants. Natural beauty and the life sustaining habitat will return in time, rewarding volunteer efforts and opening park visitors to a deeper understanding of nature.

If you wish to volunteer, please contact the stewards at this email address for further information about parking, what to bring and details of your work.

This project is sponsored by the Shoreline Department of Parks and Recreation, King Conservation District and Washington Native Plant Society.

Survey on surface water drainage and water quality challenges - deadline Sunday 5pm

Friday, July 14, 2017

Photo by Janet Way
The City of Shoreline is preparing to update the Surface Water Master Plan and Rate study (2017 Master Plan) to address drainage and water quality challenges associated with growth, increasing regulations, and aging infrastructure.

Stormwater is runoff generated from rain events and snowmelt that flows over land, structures or other impervious surfaces and does not filter into the ground.

Stormwater can have flooding and water quality impacts to both private and public property as well as the natural environment.

Provide your input by taking a short survey. This survey will remain live until Sunday, July 16th at 5:00pm.

Resident feedback from both surveys and public meetings will continue to inform the master planning process, ultimately informing which management strategy the Surface Water Utility adopts in order to provide the best possible service to the City.

More information at Shoreline Master Plan or call the Surface Water Utility at 206-801-2450.

Shoreline student to participate in DO-IT Scholars Summer Study program

Director, Dr. Sheryl Burgstahler with DO-IT students
Shoreline resident Ryan Hribernick will be returning for his second year in the 2017 DO-IT Scholars Program.

About forty-five college-bound high school students with disabilities will come together on the University of Washington (UW) Seattle campus to participate in the annual DO-IT Scholars Summer Study program.

DO-IT (Disabilities, Opportunities, Internetworking, and Technology) is funded by the state of Washington, the National Science Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Education. Other generous donors include the Boeing Company, Microsoft, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, and the U.S. Department of Labor.

Beginning July 18th, new DO-IT Scholars will spend ten days living on campus, participating in an intensive program designed to promote college and career success. The students will learn about challenging careers in fields such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Returning second year Scholars will stay on campus for one week starting July 22nd.

“DO-IT Scholars learn about college life by living in a dorm, getting along with a roommate, participating in academic classes, preparing for challenging careers, and having fun,” explains Dr. Sheryl Burgstahler, founder and director of DO-IT.
“Year-round, they communicate via the Internet with their new friends and are mentored by successful adults with disabilities. Year after year, they connect through DO-IT activities and are supported as they transition to college and careers. Many successful DO-IT Scholars continue in the program as mentors to younger participants.”

Second and third year students will once again prepare for academic programs and careers while mentoring first year students. They also complete challenging projects during their stay on campus. This year, they will work on projects in fields such as neurobiology and robotics.

DO-IT Scholars targets high school sophomores and juniors with disabilities in Washington State who are interested in pursuing higher education.

Lyon Creek sediment update

Lyon Creek culvert
Photo by Jerry Pickard
The Lake Forest Park Public Works team and Building Official have been working diligently to resolve the cloudy stream issue occurring in Lyon Creek.

The source of the problem was dirt and sediment washing into the storm water system due to grading associated with construction of a single-family home. The sediment traveled from the storm water system to Lyon Creek.

A stop-work order has been issued and appropriate contacts at the Washington State Department of Ecology have been alerted to the situation. Measures are being taken to avoid further sediment migration.

Thank you to those residents who contacted the City with this concern, and a big thanks to the Public Works crew.

Destinations: Arlington Air Show


Text and photos by Wayne Pridemore

Just an hour north of Shoreline the 50th Annual Arlington Fly-In Airshow was held July 7th through 9th. Hundreds of small personal planes flew into Arlington Field and many pilots and family members camped out under the wings of their aircraft.

There was entertainment for everyone. A person could view antique aircraft, historic military vehicles, and watch world class aerosport performances.



A wonderfully restored Lockheed Electra 12A Junior was on display. The first flight of the 12As series was on June 27, 1936 and there were 130 total built. The Junior was slightly smaller than the custom built 10A for Amelia Earhart's around the world flight in 1937.

During World War II this plane served the Free French Air Force flying military leadership such as General Charles de Gaulle around to various locations.


Flying in close formation were two warbirds of World World II. The USAAF's P-47 Thunderbolt and the Royal Air Force's Hawker Hurricane.

The P-47 had heavy armor, eight guns, and a powerful radial engine. It weighed nearly five tons empty, more than any other single engine fighter.

The Hawker Hurricane was not as famous as the British Spitfire but it destroyed more German aircraft because it was used mainly to attack enemy bombers and the Spitfire to destroy enemy fighters.


Aerobatic pilot Renny Price is a retired airline captain and has logged over 23,000 hours since his first flight in 1969. Renny dives his Russian designed and built Sukhoi-29 during his performance. The Sukhoi is considered to be the very best two place unlimited competition aircraft in the world today.



Veteran air show pilot and performer John Mrazek follows his son in a Harvard Mark IV. Richard is flying a Yak 18T.

The two Mrazek are performing a spectacular aerial ballet.


Vicky Benzing makes a low pass in front of the crowd with the Cascade mountain range in the background. Her flying career has spanned over thirty years. Vicky is also a skydiver and an air racer. In 2015 Vicky made history as the "Fastest Woman Racer" when she qualified at the Reno Air Races at 469 mile an hour.
