Sunset Park planning begins at first public meeting January 19

The Friends of Sunset Park, the Shoreline School District and the City of Shoreline are working together on a community visioning process for the future development and use of the former Sunset Elementary School site.

Shoreline residents are invited to the first community meeting to discuss options on Tuesday, January 19, at 6:00 pm at the First Lutheran Church of Richmond Beach, 18354 8th Avenue NW. Following meetings will also be on Tuesdays at the same time and place on February 23 and April 6. A day-long design workshop will also be held at the church on Saturday, March 6, at 9:00 am. 

The School District closed Sunset Elementary in 2007 due to declining enrollment. Since then, there has been growing community interest in the use of the former school site and adjacent open space.

The District, the City and the Parks Board will be briefed on Sunset Park planning efforts in spring 2010 with a final concept design and report on the process to be presented for adoption by the School Board and City Council in May 2010.
