Shoreline

The city just north of Seattle, remade by light rail, two Link stations, deep parks, saltwater at the western edge, and more home for the money fifteen minutes from downtown.

The feel

Room to breathe, linked by rail

Why We Build Here

Light Rail Rewrote the Map

When the Link stations at 148th and 185th opened, Shoreline stopped being a drive-through and became a destination, a city with Seattle access and room to breathe.

The Rail

Two Link stations: Shoreline South at 148th and Shoreline North at 185th, put downtown Seattle and the UW a train ride away, no parking required.

The Parks

Hamlin’s forest trails, Shoreview’s fields and views, the Interurban Trail running the city’s length, and Puget Sound itself at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park.

The Value

Established streets, mature trees, and genuinely more home per dollar than the neighborhoods a few minutes south, the math that’s pulling buyers north.

Questions

Shoreline, Answered

Is Shoreline a good place to buy a new home?

Yes. Shoreline pairs two Link light-rail stations with established neighborhoods, an exceptional park system, and saltwater access at Richmond Beach, at prices that generally deliver more home than comparable Seattle blocks a few minutes south. For buyers weighing access against space, it’s one of the region’s strongest answers.
