Shoreline, WALocal News

Construction commenced on October 24, 2025, to electrify the Park at Town Center in Shoreline, enhancing local park infrastructure. This initiative prepares the area for ShoreLights and other future uses, benefiting thousands of new residents in nearby communities. Funding for the project is sourced from Park Impact Fees, adopted by the City in 2017 to ensure that “growth pays for growth. ” These fees provide a crucial mechanism for financing improvements and expansions to the park system as the population increases. The park's central location enhances accessibility for residents, contributing to community cohesion.

City officials emphasize the importance of such investments in supporting local infrastructure. The Shoreline community has seen significant population growth in recent years, necessitating enhanced public amenities. This construction project is a response to that demand, reflecting the city's commitment to adapting to its evolving needs.
