Boni Biery, Habitat Team Coordinator, Shorelineʹs Community Wildlife Habitat Project
Shoreline’s Community Wildlife Habitat Project is a volunteer based community effort. Such projects
increase awareness and empower residents to act on behalf of wildlife. Shoreline’s Community Wildlife Habitat Project serves to rally the entire community around preserving, restoring, and creating attractive, low maintenance wildlife habitats.

Dick Deal, PRCS, Investing in Our Future: Facing Our Financial Challenges
The current recession has resulted in a sharp drop of sales tax & development revenues. Budget costs
have gone up. Mandates, and voter‐approved measures have either increased costs or reduced resources. The City of Shoreline will determine later this year whether to place a property tax levy lid lift on the ballot in 2010.
