Merlone Geier is in the process of redeveloping the former 1960’s era Aurora Square Sears into Shoreline Place. 

This multi-phased mixed use project will incorporate previous planning efforts from the City and community while creating shopping and living experiences that meet current market demands and reflect the unique characteristics of the area. 

For additional updates and information visit www.ShorelinePlace.com.

Still in the plans are a small "town green" as well as a dog park and retail spaces. Round Table Pizza and Chipotle are open on the lower level and they have signed leases with Mod Pizza, and Big Chicken.

Looking east, the Town & Country silo is to the right. Straight ahead is Pet Evolution, next to Bed Bath & Beyond. The new construction site has been completely cleared. Drone photo by David Carlos.

Pet Evolution featuring pet food, supplies, and grooming, is holding its ribbon cutting and grand opening on Saturday, July 27, 2024 at 10:45am PDT. This event will be held at 15515 Westminster Way N Suite C, Shoreline, WA 98133 with the Shoreline Chamber of Commerce.

Front and center is the old Sears building. In the background, the six story Department of Transportation building. Behind Sears is a former auxiliary parking lot, now used for construction equipment and next to it are the piles of dirt.

In the lower, right corner, cars are parked at existing businesses on a separate land parcel, not owned by Merlone Geier.

Have you considered bringing in Garden Clubs to help develop the green space? They know which plants will grow best in the sun/shade and soil varieties available in the space chosen. You can provide a small fee to the Club(s), instead of a single company - and put up a small plaque thanking the Club(s). Use the savings to get really nice, friendly plants for the green space. [In other places paid consultants have not known the most appropriate plants, which were overtaken by weeds in one season.]

great pictures but most of the directions listed are incorrect - any plans for the city to ticket cars parked in the "no parking" spaces around the apartment building between Aurora and Westminster?

Why is it taking so long to get this project done? The residents of Shoreline are growing impatient! The city seems to have no problem packing a ton of new residents in, but it goes at a snails pace when it comes to adding attractive new businesses and restaurants! Please pick up the pace significantly!

Agreed. Sick of looking at a shelled out Sears building. Just got back from Bothell. What a letdown to come home.

I agree that’s is taking a super long time. I also would love to see some additional stores open— independent coffee shop would a great! Or a nicer restaurant— shoreline has lots of fast food and lower cost food, but would be nice to be able to go out in shoreline for special dinners, etc.
