Agenda for Shoreline council meeting May 10, 2021
The agenda for the Shoreline City Council’s May 10, 2021 meeting includes one Action item and two Study Items.
Action Item 8a-1 QUASI-JUDICIAL: Action on Ordinance No. 925 – Amending the Zoning Map at 16357 Aurora Avenue N from Residential 48-units Per Acre (R-48) and Residential 18-units Per Acre (R-18) to Mixed Business (MB) (PLN21-0008)
This was most recently discussed at the April 26, 2021 Council meeting. This week’s staff report includes written public comment from the February 12 Hearing.
Study Item 9a-1 Discussion of Resolution No. 476 – Approving the 145th Street Corridor Project Phase 1 and Phase 2 Relocation Plan and the City Manager Property Acquisition Authority for the State Route 523/(N/NE145th Street) Aurora Avenue N to Interstate 5, Phase 1 (Interstate 5 to Corliss Avenue) Project
The 145th Corridor (Phase 1) project has entered into the right-of-way (ROW) acquisition phase. The City will be purchasing ROW needed to construct improvements to this section of the Corridor as well as secure the rights to construct improvements on private property associated with the project.
Proposed Resolution No. 476 increases the City Manager’s signing authority to $1 million for property acquisition and approves the Relocation Plan (including addendum) that authorizes the City Manager to approve documented relocation claims up to the limits prescribed by federal or state law regardless of amount. Currently the City Manager can approve up to $50,000 under Shoreline Code. This increase would save time and resources by eliminating multiple presentations to Council for each individual acquisition, and would reduce the likelihood property costs will increase during the extended time this process could take.
Study Item 9b-1 Discussion of Ordinance No. 931 - Authorizing the Use of Eminent Domain for Acquisition of Certain Real Properties to Construct the State Route 523 (N/NE 145th Street) Aurora Avenue N to Interstate 5, Phase 1(Interstate 5 to Corliss Avenue) Project
Eminent domain is a power granted to political subdivisions, such as the City of Shoreline, through RCW 8.12 to acquire private property for a public use. City staff would like the City Council to consider moving forward with a condemnation ordinance as a precautionary step to keep the project on schedule. A list of project acquisition properties can be found on Attachment A of the staff report. This list includes both full and partial acquisitions. In the event a settlement agreement cannot be reached with a property owner, eminent domain would be the next step.

COVID UPDATE
As of this meeting, it was believed that King County would be moved back to Phase 2. However, Governor Inslee has extended the current phases for an additional two weeks to see if the fourth wave of new cases and hospitalizations has plateaued.
There is a North King County vaccination site operating out of the Shoreline Center located at 18560 1st Ave NE # 1, Shoreline, WA 98155.

Public Comment
France Giddings, Shoreline,
asked for a total moratorium on cutting any more trees until 2048 due to loss of trees resulting from the development of light rail.
Jackie Kurle, Shoreline,
although not against the enhanced shelter, spoke in favor of making sure the operational aspects of it are fully attended to.
Jack Malek, Shoreline, member of the Planning Commission,
was happy to see the three amendments to the enhanced shelter Action item 8(a) as a way to ensure its success. As respects the threshold for emergency calls, it should be frequently reviewed and revised with input from the community.
Nancy Pfeil, Shoreline,
does not believe the discussion of rezoning at the location of the enhanced shelter met the requirements of a quasi-judicial proceeding.
Approval of the Consent Calendar
Consent Calendar approved unanimously by a vote of 7-0
Action Item 8(a) Action on Ordinance No. 929 - Amending Certain Sections of the Shoreline Municipal Code (SMC) Title 20, Including Establishing a New Section, SMC 20.40.355, Setting Forth Regulations for Enhanced Shelters in the Mixed Business Zone, and Replacing Interim Regulations
Presentation by: Steve Szafran, AICP, Senior Planner
On April 12, Council discussed the proposed amendments which include a new definition for Enhanced Shelters and Indexed Criteria to mitigate any impacts from the proposed use.
Councilmember Roberts stated he would like to add two amendments to the TIP as potential projects for Safe Routes to Schools.
2020 was an exceptional year in many regards. However, Shoreline’s economy has proven to be fairly resilient during a pandemic that has impacted the economy regionally, nationally, and worldwide.
The staff report provides great detail on the 2020 Year-End Financial Report so I won’t go into that now.
Sales tax was good news. Revenues were up or steady in all areas including construction, retail trade, and hotels/restaurants.
Gas taxes and the local criminal justice tax that we receive on a per capita basis were down reflecting statewide results.
Parks and recreations significant losses were offset by not having the expense of additional staff for those programs.
And we did receive $2.5M from the federal CARES Act. It covered costs directly related to the City’s COVID-19 response, small business support, and human services support.
DISCUSSION
Councilmembers expressed appreciation for the report and noted that because of the planning of our City staff, City Manager, and with support from Council, Shoreline has weathered the pandemic as well as possible.
Meeting adjourned.

- Wear a well-made snug fitting face mask.
- Limit activities with unvaccinated people from outside your home. A fully vaccinated person is at least two weeks past their second shot, or in the case of the J&J vaccine, two weeks past their single shot.
- Avoid crowded spaces.
- Improve ventilation in workplaces, businesses, and homes.
- Stay home and get tested at the first sign of illness or if you were exposed to someone who has tested positive.
- And finally, we encourage everyone who qualifies to get vaccinated.

VOTE
Amendment #2 passes unanimously 7-0
Motion and second to modify Amendment #3 (distance from schools) reducing distance from 1,500 feet to 1,000 feet
This is a more realistic figure for the City of Shoreline. And we need to realize that this will be for a possible site that might be considered in the future. The shorter distance leaves a number of properties as possible locations. Future sites may not be along Aurora. As Metro continues to modify its routes, there may be other areas that can offer the same accessibility to transit. And other sites may be located in neighborhoods where having a distance from schools make sense.
This type of guardrail may help us prevent the issues that have faced other cities who did not require this level of accountability. That may be one of the reasons the Planning Commission recommended we adopt it. This groundwork we’ve done should make it easier to develop the next shelter.
I don’t think this will make it any safer. Why create extra hoops for a future location to go through? I haven’t seen anything to support that this distance would make a difference in safety. We want to house homeless people. Helping the homeless helps the City maintain our parks and prevent illegal camping in them. We don’t want to stigmatize people for being homeless.
I didn’t like 1,500 foot distance. On the other hand, I don’t think 1,000’ removes enough properties. I think it will be decades before Shoreline will have another shelter because they’re too expensive to obtain the property and too expensive to run.
This will be on the books for an enhanced shelter so it doesn’t matter if there’s no current or foreseeable plans for one. We should have it in place on the books so that people considering it will know what is expected and it doesn’t need to be argued over. The City maps could look a lot different when another shelter is developed.
Obtaining data from staff on the necessity of distance from schools would have required a very large research project. But we did learn during this process that a lot depends on how the shelter is run, and who the clients are. We visited a shelter in Seattle that looked wonderful, but it was brand new so you couldn’t really determine what the effects were. And there were plenty of stories about other shelters’ effects on neighborhoods, including hangers-on selling drugs, which is something we’ve seen with the Methadone Clinic here. This isn’t an attempt to stigmatize the homeless, but we shouldn’t pretend there aren’t problems. Some sort of distance from school age children makes sense
We want our children to be safe in their schools and elsewhere in the City. We invested a lot when we redid Aurora to make it more family friendly and safer. But I think the Be a Good Neighbor Plan that we required for this shelter is designed to keep the community safe.

Amendment #3, modified to 1,000 feet, fails by a vote of 3 to 4

VOTE ON MAIN MOTION
Ordinance 929 excluding Amendment #3
Passes by a vote of 6-1
Opposed CM Chang
Action Item 8(b) Action on Ordinance No. 930 - Amending Development Code Chapters 20.20, 20.30, 20.40, and 20.50 and Chapter 13.12 Floodplain Regulations for Batch #1 of the 2021 Development Code Amendments
These amendments were discussed at the April 19, 2021 meeting.
Presentation by: Steve Szafran, AICP, Senior Planner
Changes recommended by the Council were made to the following:
#3 Allows a public agency such as Sound Transit to apply for a land use permit for a public project without the requirement of the property owner’s signature.
Council thought the original wording was too broad. The intent was to have this apply to transit agencies working on regional projects. The proposed changes make the wording narrower to reflect this intent.
#9 This amendment clarifies that the density for a parcel with multiple zoning districts will be rounded after the density of each zone is calculated.
Both examples referred to rounding up. Council asked for an additional example showing rounding down. A rounding down example was added.
#11 Clarifies when staff can approve a 25% parking reduction when a new development is proposed within a quarter mile of a light rail station or other high capacity transit facility.
A parking management plan is expensive and may discourage development in the light rail areas. And it may not be necessary since these projects will be near completion when Sound Transit opens their light rail line.This restriction has been removed.
#14 Expedited permit review without additional fees is included under Deep Green incentives.
Staff proposes this be withdrawn and reconsidered during the MUR-70 development discussion.

Motion and second to approve amendment #14 to withdraw the amendment and discuss later
Staff provided two alternatives for amendment #14. One was to withdraw, and the other was to approve but with an implementation date of 12/31/2021. We want to protect projects that are in the pipeline. Does staff recommend one of the alternatives over the other?
Reply: Staff is ok with either alternative, but I would prefer withdrawing for later discussion about the development in the MUR70 zone
If withdrawn, current projects are vested, correct?
Reply: the incentive continues for projects in MUR70. In this zone, you have to build to the Built Green Standard. So the question is, do we want to give an incentive to something that is already required?
Current project developers have been told they get the incentive. By using the other alternative with the 12/31/2021 date, they will have time to file applications before the incentive expires on that date. The advantage to this alternative is it gives an end date to providing the incentive for something you have to do anyway.
We need to get projects going. They are long in the planning. Whenever we draw a line, some people lose out. I don’t see a huge difference between the two choices. And we’re just talking about expedited permit reviews. I think keeping it all together to be discussed at once is the better choice.
We do want to know what the incentives are, and the costs of development. So this fits right in with the entire discussion of MUR70 rather than doing this as a one-off.
Maybe “incentives” maybe isn’t the right term. It’s an offset. We want green buildings. Green buildings cost more. So expediting permits and some of these discounts is one way for us to get to the public benefits of green building and affordable housing. We may never want to take these incentives away.
Staff has limits to expediting permits. So at a later date that should be considered if we have to contract out permit work, which would be an additional cost.

Action Item 8(c) Action on Resolution No. 475 - Adopting a Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) for 2022 Through 2027 and directing the TIP to be filed with the state Secretary of Transportation and the Transportation Improvement Board.
Presentation by Nytasha Walters, Transportation Service Manager
The draft 2022-2027 TIP was presented to the City Council on April 5, 2021 for discussion. The staff presentation was immediately followed by a Public Hearing on the plan, as required by state law. After the hearing, Council commented and asked several questions regarding listed projects, funding, and possible new projects to consider which are addressed in the staff report. With the exception of the addition of a statutorily required item pertaining to the preservation of railroad right-of-way, the draft 2022-2027 TIP narrative has not been edited since presented on April 5, 2021.

The draft 2022-2027 TIP was presented to the City Council on April 5, 2021 for discussion. The staff presentation was immediately followed by a Public Hearing on the plan, as required by state law. After the hearing, Council commented and asked several questions regarding listed projects, funding, and possible new projects to consider which are addressed in the staff report. With the exception of the addition of a statutorily required item pertaining to the preservation of railroad right-of-way, the draft 2022-2027 TIP narrative has not been edited since presented on April 5, 2021.
Councilmember Roberts stated he would like to add two amendments to the TIP as potential projects for Safe Routes to Schools.
Our next application for Safe Routes to Schools is Fall of next year. It is not essential for these routes to be added to the TIP to be eligible for Safe Routes to Schools. We are looking for the most competitive and highest need.
Two of the locations are listed as Medium Priority in the Sidewalk Prioritization Plan. Wallingford Ave from N 150th to Meridian is not listed in the Sidewalk plan.
Staff recommends no adjustment to the draft TIP with the exception of the railroad right of way.
DISCUSSION
Motion and second to adopt Resolution No. 475
Motion by CM Roberts and second to add the unfunded school projects proposed to the TIP.
I don’t see the point of adding the sidewalks to the TIP since they are on the staff’s radar and the current list is well rounded. Adding these little additions here and there just adds more to the TIP.
During the last budget process, we got lots of support from the community, including the school principal, for adding the sidewalks proposed to the TIP. With the existing sidewalks that have been added near there, having on the TIP elevates them and signals the community we want these. There is no cost to listing on the TIP.
Why did you select these two? Are there higher priority school sidewalks that haven’t been added to the TIP?
Reply from staff: We don’t put Safe Routes on the TIP unless directed to by Council. It doesn’t give them a higher priority. When we look at Safe Routes, we look at what’s going on. We look at the demographics and collisions, highest need and most competitive. We may package with something close to it that has collisions. The priority classification I mentioned earlier is from the Sidewalk Prioritization Plan. But that doesn’t mean we would not consider them for funding if we think they would be competitive. We don’t control the selection criteria. We want something that will be successful. We don’t know what the situation is going to be in Fall 2022. We are aware of these projects.
We have the Sidewalks Prioritization Plan, so why add these three that are medium priority. Aren’t there some that are considered high priority on that list that haven’t been added to the TIP?
Reply: I don’t have the list but a lot can happen between now and fall of 2022.
We get requests for specific items all of the time: guardrails, sidewalks, speed bumps. We have to rely on staff as well as concerns for equity for folks not as familiar with the process or don’t have the contacts.

I’m going to oppose the main motion. Every budget cycle we have this discussion. Always we hear no it’s not the time, that we need to follow the process and follow the scorecards. The situation has changed. When are we going to revisit the scorecard? What will it take to recognize we need protection of young children?
It makes sense to add these school locations to the TIP, but I’m concerned we’re not adding all of them. Without knowing more about all of the school locations and their priority, I hesitate to add just three.
It’s going to take a long time to get all of the sidewalks built, but we are now starting through the process of design and implementation. We have to trust staff to put forward the most potentially successful applications.
That’s a good question - When do we review the scorecard?
Reply: we’ve talked about this a bit at the staff level. We were not planning to revisit the entire list in the short term. When there are significant changes that occur, that would be the time to look at specific locations. But we would need a process. This does not appear to be a case where we would likely see a significant change in priority. The Prioritization Plan was a very rigorous process. Safety was one of the criteria we looked at and we looked at hundreds of sidewalks. It took 2 years to do that. It will be at least a couple of years before we do any major reevaluation.
Debbie Tarry: 2017-2018 is when we did the program
We don’t want to blow up any of the work that has been done. I’m concerned that we don’t have an automatic update. Not to change the criteria but we should look at creating an update schedule.
Reply: we update all of our transportation plans every 10 years. We can talk about it at the staff level. I do understand your point.

Study Item 9(a) Discussing the 2020 Year-End Financial Report
Presentation by Sara Lane, Administrative Services Director
Two of the locations are listed as Medium Priority in the Sidewalk Prioritization Plan. Wallingford Ave from N 150th to Meridian is not listed in the Sidewalk plan.
Staff recommends no adjustment to the draft TIP with the exception of the railroad right of way.
DISCUSSION
Motion and second to adopt Resolution No. 475
Motion by CM Roberts and second to add the unfunded school projects proposed to the TIP.
I don’t see the point of adding the sidewalks to the TIP since they are on the staff’s radar and the current list is well rounded. Adding these little additions here and there just adds more to the TIP.
During the last budget process, we got lots of support from the community, including the school principal, for adding the sidewalks proposed to the TIP. With the existing sidewalks that have been added near there, having on the TIP elevates them and signals the community we want these. There is no cost to listing on the TIP.
Why did you select these two? Are there higher priority school sidewalks that haven’t been added to the TIP?
Reply from staff: We don’t put Safe Routes on the TIP unless directed to by Council. It doesn’t give them a higher priority. When we look at Safe Routes, we look at what’s going on. We look at the demographics and collisions, highest need and most competitive. We may package with something close to it that has collisions. The priority classification I mentioned earlier is from the Sidewalk Prioritization Plan. But that doesn’t mean we would not consider them for funding if we think they would be competitive.

Study Item 9(a) Discussing the 2020 Year-End Financial Report
Presentation by Sara Lane, Administrative Services Director
2020 was an exceptional year in many regards. However, Shoreline’s economy has proven to be fairly resilient during a pandemic that has impacted the economy regionally, nationally, and worldwide.
The staff report provides great detail on the 2020 Year-End Financial Report so I won’t go into that now.
Sales tax was good news. Revenues were up or steady in all areas including construction, retail trade, and hotels/restaurants.
Gas taxes and the local criminal justice tax that we receive on a per capita basis were down reflecting statewide results.
Parks and recreations significant losses were offset by not having the expense of additional staff for those programs.
And we did receive $2.5M from the federal CARES Act. It covered costs directly related to the City’s COVID-19 response, small business support, and human services support.
DISCUSSION
Councilmembers expressed appreciation for the report and noted that because of the planning of our City staff, City Manager, and with support from Council, Shoreline has weathered the pandemic as well as possible.
Meeting adjourned.

For the Birds: The Red, Red Robin Comes Bob, Bob, Bobbin’ Along
Wednesday, May 5, 2021
![]() |
| Note the distinctive black and white striped throat. Both males and females have that look. Females are generally lighter in coloring all over |
By Christine Southwick
All photos by Elaine Chuang
The Robin’s early morning wake-up song really does sound like “Cheer up” “get out of bed.”
The American Robin is so well known that a saying was created after seeing them in parks, fields and yards; “The early bird gets the worm.” Robins are a familiar sight running across lawns tilting their heads hunting for worms. Recent research has proven that they hunt by sight, not sound.
![]() |
| Robins routinely eat fruit -- many fruit growers have to put up nets to prevent birds from eating the fruits. |
The American Robin is so familiar that its size is used by birders as a size-guide; “Is it larger or smaller than a robin?” Even a color has been named after robins — Robin’s-egg blue.
The name “American Robin” was given to local birds in 1703 by homesick English colonists who were reminded of a red-breasted bird from England. The American Robin belongs to the Thrush Family — the bird that it was named after belongs to the Flycatcher Family.
![]() |
| American Robin fledgling -- barely out of the nest -- both parents will feed it for several weeks at least until after it can fly |
Robins eat worms, grasshoppers, bugs, fruits and berries. They will not fly up to a seed feeder, though they will use a fly-through feeder containing fruit.
They build their nests in trees, eaves or ledges. They will not use a birdhouse but will use an open-shelf-design positioned where a crow can’t get to it.
![]() |
| An ideal nesting site - up under an eave which is too cramped for crows to swoop in and nab a nestling |
They are seasonally monogamous. The female builds the nest and has 3-6 bluish eggs, and both help with the feeding. The juveniles start out with a spotted breast for camouflage which changes to the red breast during the summer.
American Robins form flocks in late fall / early spring and migrate latitude-ally, meaning that the robins you see breeding here in the summer usually fly further South in the winter, and the robins you see in the winter probably nested in Canada, and reverse their locations in the spring.
Robins really are a striking bird with their distinctive white / black striped throats, incomplete white eye-ring, distinctive red breast, and large size. Take time to really look at the next ones you see.
And like the song say, “Live, love, laugh and be happy…”

80% cut to King County gov emissions within decade under new climate plan
With its vote Tuesday, the King County Council set in motion one of the most aggressive and comprehensive climate action plans in the U.S. The five-year plan will commit the county government to cutting its carbon emissions 80% by the end of the decade.
The 2020 Strategic Climate Action also lays out plans for preparing the county for the impacts of climate change, with a focus on the communities likely to be most impacted in the coming decades.
Under three overarching sections, the more than 300-page plan describes the specific actions needed to achieve the County’s ambitious targets, including:
- Transition to zero-emissions transit fleet and improve county’s fleet fuel efficiency
- Upgrade existing buildings and meet stringent green building standards for new buildings, as well as promote collaborative regional green building projects
- Reach 2030 goal of zero waste for King County agencies
- Maintain, restore, protect and expand forests and farms in King County to help offset carbon emissions
- Implement community driven policy for frontline communities most impacted by climate change with focus on equity, housing security, energy justice, green jobs and more
- Prepare for climate impacts on rainfall patterns, with consideration of stormwater, wastewater, food planning as well as salmon recovery, sea level rise, hazard mapping and drinking water supply
This updated climate plan builds on goals set in the 2015 plan, but with far more aggressive targets for county operations aimed preparing King County for a more sustainable and equitable future.
Councilmember Rod Dembowski commented:
“Climate change is the most serious issue that humanity must confront to ensure the viability and livability of our planet for future generations. Successfully addressing this issue will require a worldwide effort, and local action.
"The King County Strategic Climate Action Plan has been a globally recognized, forward thinking, and growing document for nearly a decade.
"Our work in this plan update will push our climate change response further, faster and do even more to center equity and impacted communities.
"With millions of high-paying new jobs in the emerging zero-emission economy coming, this plan also helps ensure that King County residents, especially those from historically disadvantaged communities, will be ready to compete and be hired into those living wage jobs.
I am proud to support this important work.”

The Paper Tigers - a film by a Shoreline native - filmed in Shoreline - opens nationwide next week
Bao Tran grew up in Shoreline, graduated from Shorewood High School and Seattle University before pursuing his dream of being a filmmaker.
In 10 production days in Shoreline, The Paper Tigers made use of photogenic locales such as the Fircrest Campus, Cromwell Park, and Richmond Beach (see if you can spot them in the film!).
For several months, the production also leased our former Police Station property for office, wardrobe, and post-production, spending approximately $100,000 directly with Shoreline businesses.
The movie has been receiving rave reviews -

King county (and the rest of the state) get a two-week reprieve on Phases
Gov. Jay Inslee today announced a two-week pause on movement in the Healthy Washington: Roadmap to Recovery reopening plan.
Under the pause, every county will remain in its current phase. At the end of two weeks, each county will be re-evaluated.
The decision was made in consultation with the Department of Health, and reflects current data suggesting Washington’s fourth wave has hit a plateau.
For the past several weeks, epidemiologists have been following the state’s fourth COVID-19 wave, which now appears to be leveling out. The fourth wave has been less severe and case counts and mortalities have not been tied in rates of increase as they have in the past.
The changes in data throughout the fourth wave have been attributed to increasing vaccination rates, shortening hospital stays and lessening the severity of the illness. The state’s early vaccine prioritization has also been tied to improved data and decreasing mortality rates in the state’s most vulnerable populations.
Vaccines are now available to all Washingtonians 16 and up. To find an appointment, visit VaccineLocator.doh.wa.gov - or go to the UW vaccination clinic at the Shoreline Center.
Read the rest of the story on the governor's Medium page.

The decision was made in consultation with the Department of Health, and reflects current data suggesting Washington’s fourth wave has hit a plateau.
“We are at the intersection of progress and failure, and we cannot veer from the path of progress,” Inslee said Tuesday.
“Our economy is beginning to show early signs of growth thanks to some of our great legislative victories and we know vaccines are the ticket to further reopening — if we adhere to public health until enough people are vaccinated.”

Burglars usually ring the doorbell
Did you know that burglars almost always ring your doorbell first, to see if someone is home, before breaking in to your house? That pattern certainly played out with this Shoreline burglar, who we are now trying to identify.
At 3:58pm, on 04/26/2021 in the 20000 block of Wallingford Ave N, the victim's surveillance camera showed this suspect walking toward the front door and ringing the doorbell. When no one answered the door, he looked through the front window. The victim's dog barked at him.
But, the dog didn't deter the burglar, who walked around another side of the house out of the camera's view. The recording did capture the sound of breaking glass.
The suspect appears to be a bald, white male in his 40s, about 6 feet tall, wearing a blue hooded Nike sweatshirt, blue jeans, and a pair of white tennis shoes.
If you have any information about this case, please contact the King County Sheriff's non-emergency number at 206-296-3311 and refer to case #C21012948.

Creative Retirement Institute (CRI) classes at Edmonds College spring term
![]() |
| A complete list of the courses and the name of the instructors |
Although there are only six more weeks remaining in spring term at Edmonds College, there are a dozen classes for you to enjoy with CRI. And what a delightful collection of classes they are. There are ones to appeal to all types of interests.
For instance, as the U.S. struggles to sort out its new relationship with China, a class on modern China would give you a better understanding of what the issues are. If literature is more where your interests lie, a discussion on Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 2, might fit the bill.
Or if you are intrigued by the natural wonders of nature, a course about the subtle, and sometimes not-so-subtle differences, between porpoises and dolphins might be more to your liking. And if none of these topics wet your whistle, there are several others to choose from.
All the classes are taught via the Zoom platform. There is one class a week and the weekly lectures range from one to four hours. Regardless, any of the classes are guaranteed to intrigue you.
To register for a course, go to the CRI webpage

| Richmond Beach Saltwater Park at low tide. Photo by s cho |
Beach naturalists are local residents who care about Puget Sound beaches and want to help protect them.
More than 200 have volunteered to help people learn about and enjoy our shorelines. Beach naturalists know their beaches: they can help you explore gently to keep animals and their homes safe; tell you what sea stars eat; explain why barnacles stand on their heads; describe how moon snails lay their eggs; and so much more.
Walks are scheduled at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park Wednesday - Sunday, May 26 - 30, 2021.

I am an experienced leader in civic planning, capital planning and construction. I recently served for 7 years on the Lake Forest Park (LFP) Planning Commission, 3 years as its Chair. Our collaborations with the citizens included the 2015 Comprehensive Plan and the new development code and for the LFP Town Center.
My parents moved here to enjoy the lifestyle of LFP and the benefits of the Shoreline School District. Like my parents, we moved our family here to enjoy the amenities and character of Lake Forest Park. My wife, Mary Ellen, and I share our house with our three sons and Penny, our Bernese Mountain Dog.
I am committed to working with and listening to our citizens to continue to make LFP a special place to live. Like so many of you, I share the same goals for LFP:
- Our love for the environment, the forest, streams, and open space that make our city unique.
- Our sense of community, the Town Center, The Commons, where we shop, eat, and spend time with our friends.
- Our support for responsible development that is ecologically sensitive, is responsive to our neighborhoods, addresses the needs of our community and minimizes the impacts of climate change on LFP.
I will work to represent the citizens of LFP. Together, let’s continue to make Lake Forest Park the place where we, our children and grandchildren want to live, work, and play.
