The City of Shoreline’s Surface Water Utility works hard to protect our community and environment. We are updating our Surface Water Plan to reduce flooding, prepare for climate change, make our City greener, and protect our natural waters.

Thank you to all who provided feedback. Two surveys, four focus groups, two community meetings, and many conversations at community events helped inform the Surface Water Plan. This first survey was open from December 22nd, 2023 - January 31st, 2024.

  • The first survey (open December 22, 2023 - January 31, 2024) asked Shoreline community members to share their priorities and provide feedback on two policies. We shared this survey through a Citywide mailing, Shoreline Area News, on the City's social media accounts, and through the City email listservs. Additionally, the Shoreline School District helped share the survey with all District families through Parent Square, Peach Jar, and a physical flyer (thank you, Shoreline School District!). We also held four focus group sessions to hear from community members from groups historically underrepresented in City planning processes.
  • Results from the first survey and from focus group sessions were used to create four options for the Surface Water Plan. The second survey (open June 14th- June 30th, 2024) asked Shoreline community members to share which plan they believed is best for Shoreline. This survey was again shared with the support of Shoreline School District and Shoreline Area News, as well as through City listservs and social media. Two Community Meetings helped share and gather feedback from community members who spoke either Spanish or Mandarin as a primary language.

Results from the second survey will be shared with City Council on July 22, 2024 to help them decide which Surface Water Plan option to adopt.

    PHOTO: Example of "green street" on 17th AVE NE & NE 148th St. The sidewalks and gardens in this neighborhood are designed to soak up rainwater from the street. These gardens are filled with native plants that support birds and pollinators. The gardens' curving shape along the road helps slow traffic and the greenery adds beauty to the street.
