Shoreline City Council places Shoreline Proposition 1 on November ballot Bond measure to make park improvements and acquire and improve park land

On June 28, 2021, the Shoreline City Council placed Shoreline Proposition 1 on the ballot for the upcoming November 2 general election, seeking to enhance local parks through a $38. 5 million bond. This initiative aims to address previous voter turnout issues, as an earlier measure failed to validate despite receiving 72% approval. The bond would fund improvements across eight parks, including the installation of playgrounds, splash pads, and walking trails, designed to promote community engagement and accessibility. Homeowners with a median-valued property can expect an annual increase of about $112 in property taxes, which is a slight rise from the expiring 2006 park bond.

The improvements will also expand existing parks and create new amenities, including off-leash dog areas and public art installations. This measure is crucial for enhancing the quality of life for Shoreline residents and ensuring well-maintained public spaces. Residents are encouraged to learn more about the proposition through the city's official resources. Ultimately, the successful passage of Proposition 1 could lead to significant positive changes in Shoreline's park infrastructure.
