Chris Roberts is running for re-election
Shoreline, WA - City Councilmember Christopher Roberts launched his campaign for re-election to Shoreline City Council, District 7 at an event on February 20, 2021.

“I’m proud of the accomplishments we’ve made in Shoreline over the past few years,” said Roberts. 
“Last year we unanimously adopted a resolution committing the city to co-create a vision of an anti-racist community, added new parks and open space, and helped Shoreline businesses through the pandemic.”

Roberts will hold virtual community conversations with the residents of Shoreline and constituent groups starting mid March to discuss his re-election campaign and his priorities for his next term on City Council.

“There is more work to be done in our community to address the issues of affordable housing and climate change,” said Roberts. 

Councilmember Roberts also said he plans to continue his work to make sure that Shoreline becomes more just and equitable for everyone who lives and works in the city.

Roberts serves on the National League of Cities Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee and the Race, Equity and Leadership Council, the Puget Sound Regional Council Executive Board, and was recently appointed to the Sound Cities Association Equity and Inclusion Cabinet.

  1. Before you vote, take a drive through the areas that have been rezoned around 185th street. Ask yourself whether you're happy with the destruction of the tree canopy, the conversion of single family lots which sustained wildlife and provided storm runoff to 6 or 8 unit townhouses shoe-horned sideways to cover the entirety of those lots, or with the plethora of garbage, recycle and yard waste cans that obstruct sidewalks and prevent wheelchair access because there is no room for them in the new developments.
