Submit a Shoreline city highlight

To commemorate Shoreline’s 10th anniversary, city staff is compiling a list of highlights. The Citizens Committee has been working on the project and has a timeline of significant events and accomplishments, but residents are encouraged to submit entries of what they consider to be major highlights since the city’s incorporation.

To submit a suggestion, e-mail the city clerk at smattiol@ci.shoreline.wa.us. Suggestions should be brief and include the exact date when possible. Submittals will be accepted through March.

No charges yet filed on Chang

According to Dan Donahoe, spokesman for the King County Prosecutor’s Office, no charges have been filed on Council member John Chang, after he was interviewed by police officials Feb. 10 at the Seattle Police Department’s North Precinct.

The nature of the interview is still unknown, and Donahoe said the case is still under review by Seattle Police Department detectives, who are consulting with investigators with the Fraud Division of the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s office.

Food Lifeline receives funds

The PacifiCare Foundation, a nonprofit organization established by PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc, contributed $5,000 to Food Lifeline in Shoreline.

The Foundation is funded through donations made by PacifiCare Health Systems, PacifiCare subsidiary operations, and its 9,100-plus employees.
