THE CITY OF SHORELINE

Shoreline offers
classic Puget Sound beauty and the convenience of suburban living with the
attractions of nearby urban opportunities. The community of just over 53,000 is
located a few miles north of Seattle. As its name would suggest, Shoreline
skirts the waters of Washington’s inland sea and stretches almost to Lake
Washington. The city officially became incorporated in 1955 and features highly
developed business areas along Highway 99, one of the region’s primary
north-south travel routes.  In addition to Shoreline’s commercial areas,
it is also home to natural beauty, from the waters of the Puget Sound, to
beautifully manicured public spaces, such as the Kruckeberg Botanical Garden.
