What else should people know about your site?
Shoreline and Lake Forest Park are vibrant, active, and involved communities with hundreds of activities, enrichment projects, and local businesses. These positive things were not well-reflected in our former print media because of their space and cost limitations. We are happy to provide a forum for the community.
