In February 2022 the Shoreline community passed a bond measure that included improvement to 8 parks. Those park improvements are all either complete, under construction, or soon to be constructed. The City has completed concept designs for a second phase of improvements to three new parks:

  • Westminster Park, 709 N 150th Street
  • West Echo Lake Park, 19512 Echo Lake Place N
  • 192nd and Hemlock, across from Shoreline Park & Ride

In early 2026, the City began design for a fourth new park:

  • Edwin Pratt Memorial Park, 1341 N 185th Street

We want to hear from you about what you'd like to see in this new park. Please take a short survey below or attend our open house on Saturday, Jan. 10 to share your thoughts with us. Our design team will develop your ideas into design concepts that we'll bring back for more feedback.

Background

Edwin Pratt Memorial Park

This 0.70-acre property located at 1341 N 185th Street consisted of five separate parcels with the same owner. The City received a King County Conservation Futures Tax (CFT) grant for 100% of the appraised value to purchase this property.

The park is named in honor of civil rights leader and Shoreline resident Edwin Pratt. Naming the park after Edwin Pratt honors his legacy and the impact he has had on our community. It will also serve as a place for reflection. As part of the requirements for using the Conservation Futures Tax grant, the City can only develop 15% of the park with hard surfaces, so the remaining portion will be a natural refuge.

Edwin T. Pratt

Mr. Pratt was an activist and leader during the Civil Rights Movement. He dedicated his life and career to social justice, campaigning against housing discrimination, school segregation, and employment bias. Pratt was a founding member of Seattle's Central Area Civil Rights Committee and served as Executive Director of the Seattle Urban League.

In the era of redlining and residential segregation, Pratt moved his family to Shoreline in 1959. They were one of only two Black families living in the city. At that time, Shoreline had the second highest number of racially restricted properties in King County, after Seattle. By choosing to make his home in Shoreline, he directly challenged exclusionary barriers and affirmed the principle that all people deserve the opportunity to live and thrive in the communities they choose.

Ten years later, Edwin Pratt was assassinated at his home. No one was ever prosecuted for his murder.

Edwin Pratt's legacy reminds us that progress is shaped not only by policy and advocacy, but also by everyday acts of courage that help move communities toward equity and belonging.
