The last of this year's home improvement consults for Shoreline residents will be held on Tuesday, May 23 at Shoreline City Hall, 17500 Midvale Ave N, and there are only four slots left for individual consults.

Permit Services Manager Jarrod Lewis says, "We are down to four drainage slots on Tuesday (see below), and are all out of building and zoning/planning slots".  

Jarrod is starting a wait list for any residents interested in any last minute building or zoning appointments, so continue to apply. The form is on the City website.

Those who have appointments will get 15 minute sessions with a City expert to discuss their particular property and get advice before making home improvements.

Only four slots left for May 23

Those without specific appointments are still encouraged to attend the vendor fair portion of the event even if they do not need or want to meet with staff. Vendors represent all aspects of home remodeling. They have handouts and will be happy to talk to you.

Here are some comments from the April workshop

It was a fantastic experience, and a great resource. The vendors were very helpful and we look forward to follow ups with the contractors that were there to get pricing on some of our remodel ideas. 

The consult with the planning engineer about our retaining-wall issue was very helpful. We got a good sense of the options to be considered, the process of research and  planning, the vocabulary needed when we begin to search for designers and contractors.

The workshop is a good starting point for general knowledge. Thank you for providing a place to ask basic questions.
