History

Shoreline was first settled by homesteaders in the 1880’s. Appealing to people who worked in the city, but wanted to live in the country, Shoreline was just north of Seattle but felt worlds away. Although most of the population here worked outside the community there were local farms and lumber mills. In 1906 the construction of the Seattle-Everett Interurban rail line through Shoreline, and the brick paving of the North Trunk Road in 1913, made travel to and from Shoreline easier, increasing suburban growth. Still the area was not incorporated until 1995 when it did so partly to ensure that the area would not be annexed by the growing city of Seattle.

Recreation

Shoreline is full of recreational opportunities. The city’s 20 developed parks and many trails offer a variety of outdoor activities including tennis, skateboarding, hiking and biking trails, soccer fields, baseball fields and beach access.
