Shoreline hires Economic Development Manager

The City of Shoreline welcomes Dan Eernissee as its new Economic Development Program Manager. Eernissee, a Puget Sound native and University of Washington graduate, most recently worked in commercial real estate development. His first day at the City was June 1.

“We’re pleased to have Dan bring his experience and talents to work on Shoreline’s Economic Development Program including the initiatives underway to support local businesses,” says Shoreline City Manager Bob Olander. “In particular he brings a wealth of community-building career experience to Shoreline, having spent a decade in each of the not-for-profit and for-profit worlds, and his development background will serve us well in bringing projects to completion.”

Eernissee says he particularly enjoyed working on multi-family residential and city center projects. His team’s collaboration with the City of Mill Creek on its Town Center development earned a prestigious 20/20 Vision Award.

A graduate of Mt. Rainier High School, Eernissee went on to earn a business administration bachelor of arts degree from the University of Washington, graduating with honors, and a master’s degree from University of British Columbia’s Regent College. He’s been married for 20 years and has two teenagers who keep him busy supporting, coaching and applauding their academic, performing arts and athletic pursuits.

Eernissee fills the position left open when Mark Mayuga left in February to take a new job in Southern California.
