Location Summary
Shoreline is Seattle’s closest neighbor to the North.
The two cities are basically linked together
with minimal physical or geographical barrier in
between. This is why Shoreline is appealing
for commuters and anyone who wants to claim
“North Seattle” as their home.
Shoreline has a unique history and character
derived from original settlements dating back to
the late 1800s. The quality that brought early settlers to the area remains the same to this day: location.
The City of Shoreline offers classic Puget Sound beauty and the convenience of suburban living with the attractions of nearby urban opportunities. From stunning views of Puget Sound to many community activities such as indoor swimming, nature trails and beach access, Shoreline’s more than 400 acres of park land and open space offer a variety of recreation and outdoor experiences.
The city recently invested $18.5 million to improve its parks, which include saltwater shoreline, a botanical garden, an interurban trail and hiking trails, and newly improved athletic felds, courts and playgrounds. Shoreline shares its south border with Seattle and downtown Seattle is approximately 9 miles away.
Public transportation is readily available and easy to access. Metro Transit, Community Transit and Sound Transit all provide services to the surrounding communities and to the central business district.

Sound Transit Link Lightrail
​
The Northgate Link Extension will connect the Northgate, Roosevelt and U District neighborhoods to downtown Seattle and the airport. The elevated Northgate Station will be located east of 1st Ave NE, spanning NE 103rd Street. Station entrances will be on the Northgate Mall property north of NE 103rd Street and near the Northgate Transit Center south of NE 103rd Street. Construction is currently underway and this station is slated to open in 2021.
The Sound Transit Lynnwood Link Extension Light Rail Project will give riders a fast, frequent and reliable connection through some of the worst traffc congestion in Washington State. This extension builds four new light rail stations from Northgate to Lynnwood along the I-5 corridor, two of which will be located in Shoreline, one at 148th Street and the other at 185th Street. These stations will provide access to the Northgate Mall, bus transfers at the transit center, adjacent park-and-ride facilities, North Seattle Community College and nearby homes and businesses.
Sound Transit anticipates the project starting construction in 2018 and opening for service in 2023 with daily projections estimating between 63,000 and 74,000 riders each weekday by the year 2035. With trains arriving every 4 to 5 minutes riders can expect a 16 minute commute from the station at 145th and downtown Seattle. These transit times will save approximately 14 - 16 min during peak morning commute times.
