Nestled along the Puget Sound, Shoreline is a city just north of Seattle. With Interstate-5 cutting right through the middle of the city, getting to and from the freeway, and going south to Seattle or up into Snohomish County and all points north, is easy. There are several neighborhoods with small hubs, but at the present, Shoreline does not have a ‘downtown’ area like many cities its size. That may change with Light Rail coming to the city in the next few years.
Described by residents as a growing, well-run city with scenic vistas and a long list of conveniences, Shoreline is a top choice for many in the region.

Many people like being right next door to Seattle as well, whether you commute in for work or enjoy exploring the city.
