Roundabout installation: 160th - Greenwood - Innis Arden intersection project

60% design concept from City of Shoreline

By Kathleen Russell

On September 5, 2024, the City of Shoreline held an information meeting reviewing the N 160th & Greenwood/Innis Arden Roundabout Project. 

This is a required mitigation project agreement between Shoreline Community College and the City of Shoreline that must be completed by 2026. 

At the meeting, City staff presented various components of the project addressing the reason for a roundabout, "flashing" pedestrian crossings, construction timeline, and information on tree removal and replacements.

Sidewalk widths will vary from 5 feet to 10 feet in width. The design is at 60% and construction and will begin in Q2 2025, with 6-7 months of active construction and completion in 2026.

As the City considers how to manage construction safety during the project, residents have the opportunity to comment on construction phasing. 

• Do you want to minimize shutdowns and detours, which would take a longer time to complete? 
• Or, do you want the intersection to be fully closed for a period of time which will mean a shorter period of construction time? 
• Another option is to "consider allowing night work, which could be noisy and disruptive to neighbors".

The City is also asking for a response from residents on removing an existing sidewalk in order to make space for planting new trees. There is an illustration on the "Engage" site that shows where the sidewalk would be removed. It is the top "red circle".

Do residents prefer placement of public art or trees in the roundabout center island?

Let the City hear your comments by 10/10/24.

Go to Project webpage and survey. Scroll down on this site to take the survey and provide your comments.

Scots Football lose in overtime to Mountlake Terrace to go 3-1

WesCo 3A South football
Shoreline Stadium 9/27/2024
OT Shorecrest 16 – Mountlake Terrace 19
Overall record: 3-1

There were high hopes for the Shorecrest football team coming back to Shoreline Stadium in front of an energetic homecoming crowd with an undefeated 3-0 record. By the end of the evening the Scots’s hopes were dashed by a relentless Mountlake Terrace squad which managed to edge out the home team by three points in overtime, 19-16.

The first half of the game was a defensive battle, with both teams failing to score until the Hawks managed a 33 yard field goal with 1:18 left in the second quarter. For the night, 13 different Scots had tackles, with #4 Isaiah Blid leading with 6.5 and Michael Murray with five stops.

Shorecrest went into the locker room with that 3-0 deficit, but came out fighting.  With senior quarterback Danny Stephenson converting two big third down passes, Ben Chesnut capped off a long drive with a seven yard touchdown score to put SC on the board, and up 6-3 after a missed PAT.

The scoring rally was extended by that stout Highlander defense on the ensuing Mountlake Terrace drive. Starting from their own 30 yard line, the Hawks quarterback rolled to his right. Senior Max Beer pursued him across the field, stripping the ball which was scooped up by defensive lineman Michael Murray.  

Murray proceeded to rumble 23 yards to the end zone, putting another six on the board for the home team. Pavel Tatarinov converted the PAT, and just like that, the Scots were up 13-3 as the third quarter rolled to a close.

 

The Hawks didn’t go quietly into the night, however.  Responding with a touchdown of their own, by Owen Boswell, they would cut the lead to 13-10 with 9:38 in left in the game. And under the pressure of a waning clock, they would tie things up with just 16 seconds on the clock to send this matchup into overtime. 

 

The Scots won the toss and got the first turn in this “Kansas City Tiebreaker” format, in which each team would have an untimed possession starting on their opponent’s 25 yard line. Shorecrest managed a field goal to go up 16-13, but the Hawks would respond, grinding out a touchdown on a one yard QB sneak to end the game with a 19-16 win.

 

Shorecrest is the visiting team this Friday night against Meadowdale at Edmonds Stadium.  This matchup starts at 5pm.

You are invited to a free screening of Join or Die at Bothell Elks

How do we keep our country from falling apart? According to the award-winning documentary film Join Or Die, the answer may be found at your local Rotary chapter, bowling league, book club, or Odd Fellows hall.

Based on the work of Harvard political scientist and author of Bowling Alone, Robert Putnam, this film is a must see for those involved in any local organization or regular activities, and an opportunity for those looking for connections with their neighbors. 

Showing the impact of regularly joining together, from a group that gathers regularly to explore Atlanta on bicycles, to an Episcopal gathering place on a farm in Michigan, to the Waxahachie Odd Fellows Lodge, this film will be uplifting to those who are part of community organizations already, and an inspiration those who aren’t.

That is why the members of Bothell Odd Fellows Lodge are inviting you to our hall to watch Join Or Die together in community. Afterward take the opportunity to enjoy refreshments and talk to each other, some Odd Fellows, some Masons, some Rotarians, and other community members!

• Time: Tuesday, October 15, 2024 at 7:30pm
• Location: Clover Leaf Rebekah Hall, 10116 NE 185th St, Bothell 98011
• Cost: free. All are welcome but donations gratefully accepted to defray screening costs.

Odd Fellows have been the social heart of communities across America for over 200 years. Bothell Lodge #124 has been meeting since 1892 and is the longest continuously operating organization in Bothell. 

Clover Leaf Rebekah Lodge #54 was chartered in 1893. For more information contact Penny Curtis, Secretary,bothelloddfellows@gmail.com, 206-235-3419.
