Padding Ann's Trail with Wood Chips

Meet at 10 AM at the chip pile at the Dayton end (up the street from Crista Elementary). Dress for the weather!

The City of Shoreline invites you to participate in CityLearn. This monthly series of hybrid meetings is open to everyone who lives and/or works in Shoreline. This is an opportunity to connect directly with City Councilmembers and staff.
Demystifying the City Budget
By State law, cities in Washington are required to
maintain a balanced budget. How does Shoreline make sure expenses do not exceed income? How much of your taxes, both property and sales, go into the City budget? Join Meng Liu, the City’s Budget and Tax Manager, for an informative and engaging presentation
You can attend in person or virtually. The Zoom link is:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88277388877
For more information, contact Constance Perenyi, cperenyi@shorelinewa.gov
Learn About the City Budget and Win! The current local sales tax rate is 10.3%. If you shop in Shoreline and spend $10 on taxable items, $1.03 is collected in tax. Do you know what percentage of that amount stays in Shoreline? Bring your guess to CityLearn on February 7, either in-person or virtually. Participants with the closest estimates win a prize!
