At this time, essential City services are those related to health and safety, emergency response, and government operations.

The Governor’s Stay Home order is necessary to help stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus and prevent our healthcare system from becoming overwhelmed. All Shoreline residents need to follow the Governor’s order and stay at home, unless you are:

• Pursuing an essential activity, like shopping for groceries or going to a medical appointment.
• Getting takeout food. (Food deliveries also are permitted).
• Going to work at an essential business.
• Going outside for walks and exercise, as long as social distancing of six feet is maintained.

Examples of essential City services

• Police services
• Fire and EMS (provided by Shoreline Fire Department)
• Traffic safety and emergency street maintenance
• Limited parks maintenance

Reminder about parks and park activities

• Use physical distancing: The most effective tool we have to slow the spread of COVID-19 is to physically distance ourselves from others. Keep at least six feet of distance between you and others.
• Do not access off limits equipment or areas: As of this weekend, Shoreline has CLOSED all playgrounds, picnic shelters, basketball and tennis courts, ball fields, and the skate park.
• Do not congregate in parks: This means no pick-up games, picnics, BBQs, parties, or bonfires.
• Six feet for activities: Hiking, biking, and walking are all great ways to enjoy parks right now, just remember to keep six feet between you and your fellow residents.
