Shoreline is looking to the future at many issues for this wonderful Seattle suburb - transportation, health access, and moving towards an overall environmentally friendly city way of thinking. Here are some of the highlights and another reason why this town might be a great place to live:
One of the goals for the city of Shoreline, Washington is to "create an environmentally sustainable community" - the city is looking at a tree retention policy (sound like Lake Forest Park?), updating their storm water standards. In addition, Shoreline's other green goals? Hire a Green Team, measure progress, and look into energy and climate change policies.
For a complete run down of more of Shoreline's 2008-2009 goals:

I think this is an excellent start and hope to read about much more in coming months about Shoreline making moves to go green!

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine! I love Seattle houseboats and you can find me down on the docks of Lake Union and Portage Bay several times a week. Other aspects of Seattle real estate that I adore include Queen Anne Real Estate,Wallingford Real Estate, Ballard Real Estate, Green Lake Real Estate, Laurelhurst Real Estate, Magnolia Real Estate,andSeattle Waterfront Real Estate.
In addition to being a Seattle residential broker and founder of Cooper Jacobs & Seattle Afloat, I am also a member of CBA (Commercial Brokers Association) and head of the Cooper Jacobs Commercial Division in an effort to provide excellent commercial real estate services to the Seattle commercial real estate industry. With a background in accounting and management, it is my great pleasure to coordinate our Seattle commercial brokers.

Shoreline is trying hard to upgrade itself. I have a number of friends who work in the schools there. They have had a bit of a financial crunch with the schools in recent years. Still a great option to Seattle propper.
