At the meeting the board discussed its priorities for 2025 — public events promotion, StoryWalks, playground seating and trail/connectivity projects — and then took votes by voice. A motion to approve the presented 2025 work plan passed after a second and a voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting text. Earlier in the meeting the board adopted the meeting agenda and approved the minutes from the prior meeting by voice vote.

Why this matters: Adoption of the work plan sets the advisory board’s priorities for outreach, event support, park improvements and partnerships with community groups and the school district. Board members flagged roles the advisory board could play if the city pursues a parks levy or the Council advances a Healthy Streets (pedestrian‑focused) program.

Key discussion points: Members emphasized increasing promotion and centralizing event information (email blasts, ParentMap, school newsletters, Peachjar and local online outlets), bolstering volunteer recruitment for large events such as Battle of the Bands, coordinating with the Shoreline School District and ShoreLake Arts to expand arts in schools, and exploring temporary street closures or walk‑day events to preview pedestrian infrastructure ideas. The board also discussed partnering with the Shoreline Historical Museum and other groups to develop history walks and interpretive materials.

Votes at a glance:
- Meeting agenda: adopted by voice vote (mover/second: not specified; voice vote; no roll‑call recorded).
- Minutes (prior meeting): approved by voice vote (mover/second: not specified; voice vote; no roll‑call recorded).
- 2025 Work Plan: motion to approve the plan as presented (mover/second: not specified); approved by voice vote; no roll‑call tally recorded.

Ending: Board members agreed to provide outreach and contacts to support ShoreLake Arts and other community partners and planned to return to these topics in future meetings; members also requested that staff bring additional information about potential levies and the Healthy Streets program as it becomes available.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","January 28, 2025 Parks & Recreation Advisory Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","The Lake Forest Park Parks & Recreation Advisory Board voted to adopt its 2025 work plan during the January meeting and approved routine items including the meeting agenda and minutes.","taxTitle","Lake Forest Park, King County, Washington","taxId",71686,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6361049,"Garden tour funding to pay for Horizon View public art; artist chosen for bench and sculptural installation",430,2689000,3119000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171329-e0f80aff31f01aff9e66c07d9f3393d1&start=2689&end=3119","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171329-e0f80aff31f01aff9e66c07d9f3393d1/thumbnail_2689000.jpg","/articles/6361049/Lake-Forest-Park/King-County/Washington/Garden-tour-funding-to-pay-for-Horizon-View-public-art-artist-chosen-for-bench-and-sculptural-installation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361049-f71bf8586dc04d4a6102645e291978e4/orig.mp4?Expires=1776322007&Signature=ksySEN-FcNFiJt2Tm2plhK5FpU9maBkGcTEyMVjXDZUySmqVDQArr~tX2ZG6KB0xVuzoZOM9fuWn2s2ZxlLSgd76DH3Ppl9ei0w~icP6068SaeC-Uasy-Yx1uxLTNSou55U637ewu3gIQV2-57H3wdk406xfWo4EBy1qz1t7FE4~dztjW8JjlO9YPIuwlFJNphgx51jfT3-cS~3-XGgZdbZkl4O1g-DwpK9VFSO1y~h4Jjq3yIP5imSk1QSbm2oqmZp0eAFIuz5ucr8dQbt1GABGJqUjNQ003CR96hwEFOlQJcQHmS3OXlWQDaotEMIIlf0xWucpkaaIsUO6K5i7HA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Lake Forest Park Parks & Recreation Advisory Board discussed a public art project to be installed at Horizon View Park that the local garden tour group is funding.

The advisory group reported that the garden tour is acting on behalf of the city to deliver a public art piece and has committed $40,000 to the project. The garden‑tour selection committee reviewed multiple proposals and narrowed the field before selecting artist Alyssa Cole (surname spelled C‑O‑L‑E in the transcript) to design the work.

Why this matters: The project will place permanent art in a neighborhood park, add seating and sightlines for parents and visitors near the playground and pathways, and requires coordination with public works and a later review by the City Council before contracting and installation.

Project concept and site details: Committee discussion described a concrete bench roughly 4–5 feet wide decorated with colored concrete and glass mosaic and accompanied by metal sculptural elements approximately 9 feet tall at one or both ends. The preferred location is near the park entrance and parking lot pathway, positioned to give sightlines to the playground and ballfield while providing seating for parents and visitors. Board members also discussed an option for artwork attached to a chain‑link fence between the playground and play field, but the group said the design is settling toward a bench with adjacent vertical pieces.

Next steps and approvals: The advisory board was told the artist has visited the park and is working with staff to finalize the design. The project will move forward through public‑works review, attorney contracting and a City Council review for authorization before installation; the artist and organizers indicated a target of summer installation. A new public works director has been briefed and signaled support pending safety and contract reviews.

Ending: Board members expressed enthusiasm for the chosen design, noted the project adds benches and seating at Horizon View, and said they will look for the project to return to Council for formal consideration and contracting.","Members of the Lake Forest Park Parks & Recreation Advisory Board discussed a public art project to be installed at Horizon View Park that the local garden tour group is funding.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6361054,"ShoreLake Arts outlines 2025 calendar, opens new gallery space in Ridgecrest",1639,195000,1834000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2171329-e0f80aff31f01aff9e66c07d9f3393d1&start=195&end=1834","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2171329-e0f80aff31f01aff9e66c07d9f3393d1/thumbnail_195000.jpg","/articles/6361054/Lake-Forest-Park/King-County/Washington/ShoreLake-Arts-outlines-2025-calendar-opens-new-gallery-space-in-Ridgecrest","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6361054-1a0a4e4034479d4ee23dc39a099459a2/orig.mp4?Expires=1776322007&Signature=CUld3mCDBclkViek2R7s2PqcGiQgJpgyBYC~7fqAnP-KIaFXiS1Syqm2~Qmvw4MriG9yi94yT4VZRu4yhQ-XcYFpcf0woBts1SlAcOiLSiYLXb075QkUL~4VY6fpGdGYpYFPbj1RlQATU0uoc2WNzi7h~q4hGkwfPLDPX8wmKh4yOk2IqRO9E9UqIKSat2H41orpprSd6YfQaZudKRYf5Hm-pqbkLohtM-LgTa2KXUxUk1f7BlMUtVgjVaycFOeFrQtmep9IvPObs5cq~L7nbS70k3ME7E9e8XDQsQD5ReJ3ocgZ3-1Bj~ruhQgh8HHR9eNs~loQ26fq0dHEHvL4dQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Laura James, executive director of ShoreLake Arts, told the Lake Forest Park Parks & Recreation Advisory Board on Jan. 0 that the nonprofit has moved into a new gallery, office and studio at 521 Northeast 160th Street in the Ridgecrest neighborhood and outlined a calendar of events for 2025.

The organization — “a 35 year old nonprofit organization started by community volunteers,” James said — plans a family sip-and-paint, a summer concert series that will both open and close at Bridal Acres Park, a one-day Battle of the Bands with lead-in performances to activate nearby businesses, an outdoor kids-focused Arts in the Park, and hands-on art at Picnic in the Park and Pause in the Park. James said ShoreLake Arts is currently a one‑full‑time‑equivalent organization and will add a part‑time education lead in February.

Why this matters: ShoreLake Arts provides arts programming that the group and some speakers said supplements public school arts funding and activates parks and businesses in Lake Forest Park and nearby Shoreline. Board members and residents at the meeting discussed ways the city and the organization might partner on venues, publicity and volunteer recruitment.

Details and context: James said the new Ridgecrest space aims to be “a third place for our community” where people can gather without needing to purchase anything, and that tenant improvements were supported by a grant for culture funding. ShoreLake Arts said it curates art at local businesses, runs summer camps (six weeks, typically two classes per day with high‑school helpers; class sizes for younger groups are often kept to about 10–12 children per teacher) and will offer scholarships for camp and ticketed events.

Programming highlights James described:
- Edible Books Festival: returned in person with 15 entrants, judged awards in adult and youth categories; organizers expect interest to grow.
- Summer concert series and Battle of the Bands: returning with city support; the board heard the 2025 event will be one day rather than overnight to reduce security/logistics demands and will include a beer garden and volunteer needs.
- Short Film Festival: to be held at Shoreline Community College Theater; ShoreLake Arts will solicit films via local film networks and FilmFreeway and intends to award cash prizes and offer hardship scholarships for $25 admission tickets.
- Summer camps and classes: six weeks of camps with partnerships for indoor space (Scottish Rite Masonic Center) and gallery classroom space; guaranteed gallery hours initially Monday–Thursday, roughly 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
- Senior programming: ShoreLake Arts said it is teaching watercolor and collage classes at the Shoreline/Lake Forest Park Senior Center in partnership with the senior center activity director.

Board members asked about outreach to schools and partnerships; James said ShoreLake Arts is coordinating with the Shoreline School District arts lead and with community partners such as King County and Meridian Park on events that bring arts into schools and community venues. She also requested more help publicizing events and recruiting volunteers and board members.

Ending: Advisory board members offered to help connect ShoreLake Arts with school contacts, neighborhood groups and local marketing channels; members also encouraged use of district newsletters and community calendars to boost attendance and volunteer recruitment. James invited board members to visit the new gallery and to contact her with recommendations or volunteers.","ShoreLake Arts told the Lake Forest Park Parks & Recreation Advisory Board it will relocate to a new gallery, continue its summer concert series and Battle of the Bands, expand youth camps and senior classes, and host a short film festival, with programming and volunteer needs described for 2025.","actionData","errors"]
