Earlier this month, the Shoreline City Council declared June 19, 2022, as Juneteenth in the city of Shoreline. Juneteenth is the traditional day of celebration of the end of slavery in the United States. In 2021, the Washington State Legislature approved Juneteenth as a state holiday. City Hall will be closed on Monday, June 20 in recognition of Juneteenth.
In partnership with ShoreLake Arts and other community members, the City worked with artists Myron Curry and Vincent Keele to add to the Juneteenth mural north of Shoreline City Hall on Midvale Ave North and 178th. On Sunday, June 19 from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., ShoreLake Arts is holding an informal event for people to drop-in and meet the artists.
