As many of you may or may not know, Shoreline, WA is one of the proposed sites for a 640-bed municipal jail facility. The site is located at 2545 NE 200th St which lies on the Northeast side of Shoreline bordering Lake Forest Park.
In November, we posted the news release from the city identifying the six sites. Since then, there have been public forums and meetings held by both the city and the surrounding neighborhoods. If you would like to get involved, review tapes of the public forums, or simply find out more information about the proposed site you can visit http://www.necmunicipaljail.org/ .
Please note the following notice received from a local resident:
Dear Neighbors, Friends and Shoreline residents,
The community is organizing opposition to the proposed jail site at the residentially zoned, Aldercrest Annex. Comments on environmental impact and ideas are needed on an appropriate use of this property such as park, soccer complex etc.
The following are two web sites with updates and information on what you can do to help.
Concerned citizens of Lake Forest Park have started this web site, check it out:
