Online Open House
Available on this page: February 19 - March 5
In Person Open House
February 19, 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Avenue N
Project Overview
When the City plants new trees near streets and sidewalks, we need to think about how the growing tree will impact sidewalks, utilities, and the roadway. Before Shoreline became a city, many trees were planted next to streets and sidewalks that grew too tall for the power lines overhead. Many were also planted in spaces between the sidewalk and street too small for their species maximum size at maturity resulting in damage to the sidewalks and street around them.
To make sure that we’re planting the right trees in the right places, we rely on our Street Tree List. This list groups trees by characteristics, and allows us to select trees for planting in appropriate locations.
The list only applies to public street trees, not trees on private property. The latest Street Tree List was last approved by the Tree Board in 2019. We are in the process of updating the list and would like to hear your suggestions! Join us for an open house at Shoreline City Hall on February 19 at 6 PM to provide your thoughts. We will also host an online forum for anyone unable to join us between February 19 and March 5.
