Camp United We Stand is building a new portable shower

And you can donate materials to help.

All labor will be done by camp residents and we already have the plans. 

The current shower is heavy and hard to move and the platform is unstable and dangerous. 

And because the camp is only permitted to stay in one place for a few months at a time, moving costs are one of our largest expenses.

We need a Shower Stall, Utility Sink, Ceiling Vent, Exterior Door, and waterproof building materials like Plastic Panels and Marine Grade Plywood

The complete needs list is on our website at 

CampUnitedWeStand.org/our-needs-list

Please contact us with questions and to let us know what you can donate.

The Shoreline city council will declare May Bike Month and then review a Transportation Plan that cuts bike lanes

https://local.interurbancanopy.news/p/shoreline-declares-bike-month-cuts

The Shoreline council will proclaim May National Bike Month at the Monday, May 4, 2026 meeting, followed by a public hearing on the 6-year Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP).

https://preview.redd.it/im94e04cbdyg1.jpg?width=2136&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=441563c58bd88ef5a18c71447fef1810e6bf2146

Bike lanes on Meridian Ave (from 175th to 200th) were cut because of understaffing, says the transportation plan. With costs rising, the city returned the grant and cancelled the safety project.

More cyclists are being hit by drivers on Shoreline roads, according to the latest Traffic Report.

https://preview.redd.it/88faczodbdyg1.jpg?width=1456&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=188d6b89ba98241a11596c05a5831c7d74175e49

The 175th Street Corridor project costs ballooned again. The project would keep the road from collapsing during an earthquake and improve safety at Meridian Park elementary school. But costs have increased from $88,608,200 in 2024 to an estimated $107,459,210 in the latest TIP

Sidewalks connecting the North City business district to the Shoreline North Light Rail station are so far in the future that they have no completion dates, and costs increased from $17 million to over $24 million. 

The city shortened the 15th Ave NE safety project in North City. Previously, pedestrian improvements along 15th Ave NE were planned from 175th to 200th, but now the city has shrunk the project to between 180th to 196th. 

Over $148 million in transportation projects aren't funded.

Earlier, at the April 27 meeting, the council proclaimed Earth Day and discussed the Climate Action Plan.

The city made little progress towards its climate goals with 61% of climate pollution spewed from tailpipes in Shoreline.

Council member Laura Mork asked, “We had said by 2030 we'd have a 60% greenhouse gas reduction. How are we doing on that?”

“We're only down 6%. So we have 54% to go,” city staff said. 

Bike Month and Earth Day proclamations are available on the city’s website

Neighborhood volunteers get out the vote and influence party politics. Filing week to run for Precinct Committee Officer (PCO) is May 4th

https://local.interurbancanopy.news/p/run-for-pco

What is a Precinct Committee Officer (PCO)? PCOs are the frontline defenders of free and fair elections at the neighborhood level. A PCO is a grassroots party organizer who talks to neighbors about elections and turns out the vote. 

What do PCOs do? PCOs shape the future of political parties. They have full voting power on party business and influence party platforms and endorsements. And sometimes, PCOs even vote to fill vacancies in the state legislature.

How to run for PCO: Candidates file the week of May 4, 2026, and must be either a Republican or Democrat registered to vote in their precinct. PCO candidates must be at least 18 by the August 4 primary — even 17-year-olds can run!

How to file for PCO: Candidates can learn more on the King County PCO page or the Snohomish County Run for Office site. Look up your precinct using the online King County Precinct Map or the Snohomish County Precinct Map

PCO candidates don’t appear in the Voters’ Pamphlet; only contested PCO races appear on the ballot, and candidates can drop out before the end of filing week. 

If unopposed, a PCO candidate is automatically elected; otherwise, the PCO candidate with the most votes in the August primary wins. PCOs can also be appointed by the local party. 

There is no filing fee to run for PCO, and the application can be completed online in a few minutes. 

Republicans can learn more on the King County GOP and Snohomish County GOP websites. 

Democrats can find details on the 32nd LD Democrats, 1st LD Democrats, and the WA Dems websites.
