Fact text

  • Shoreline got its name not from the water, but from a clever geographic pun, the school district stretched 'Shore to Shore' and 'Line to Line.'
  • Despite being a well-known neighborhood for decades, Shoreline wasn't officially incorporated as a city until 1995, half a century after it got its name.
  • From 1950 to 1957, Shoreline was the fastest-growing area in the entire Seattle metro, exploding by 64 percent in just seven years.
