Activities and Attractions
Shoreline still takes pride in its recreation activities and boasts over
330 acres of parks and open space. The Richmond Beach Saltwater Park, for example, gives access to Puget Sound and has a sandy beach—pretty rare in this area. Boeing Creek Park is more wooded, with hiking trails and a nice—you guessed it—creek to admire. And if you prefer more wide-open spaces with manicured playfields, check out Hamlin Park which has recently undergone renovations to spruce things up a bit.
If you’re into history, check out the
Shoreline Historical Museum to learn about the region’s beginnings and how it has changed through the ages. You can also visit the exhibit about the once-famous Playland amusement park. Best of all, entrance is free! Another historical landmark is the
Crest Theater, part of the Landmark theater group. This place was built in 1949 and has been showing movies ever since. And, keeping with the money-saving aspect in Shoreline, all shows are only three bucks!
If a meal is what you need, there are a few must-tries in Shoreline. Everyone gushes about the sandwiches at
Grinders, and
Hill’s Neighborhood Restaurant is a slightly fancier option near Richmond Beach. There are also about a gazillion options on Highway 99; we recommend just taking a drive through and seeing what catches your fancy!
