As part of the City of Shoreline’s update to its Comprehensive Plan, they are studying options to allow middle housing throughout the city. 

The goal is to provide more housing choices in more locations for all our residents. 

We would like to invite you to join us for a virtual community open house on Wednesday, May 24, 2023 to discuss what middle housing is, and how it would impact the Shoreline community.

This is an opportunity for us to hear your thoughts, concerns, and questions regarding middle housing. Your perspectives and experiences are essential to creating housing solutions that work for everyone in our community.

Recent Changes in State Law

Washington’s new middle housing law will allow more housing units per lot in most neighborhoods in most cities across the state. 

However, the law leaves it up to cities to determine what that housing will look like. 

We will need to update Shoreline’s development code to comply with the law by mid-2025. Because of these recent changes, we are focusing on the different forms of middle housing like duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes and what they might look like in Shoreline.
