Hi all:
As part of the course work for UW-Bothell BES 485 Conservation Biology that I am co-teaching with Martha Groom, students need to work on an applicable project. Some of the students are working on Community-based projects and below is an example of what students initiative can lead to.
If you are interested in conservation and sustainability issues please see below and support the efforts of this pair of students. Please, also pass along this info to those who you think may be interested.
thanks,
Ursula

Subject: Shoreline Farmers Market!: BES485-W11
Greetings all you sustainable, local, organic supporters! We have some great news!
Brendan Lemkin and myself are starting a Farmers Market in Shoreline. We attended the first
planning meeting for Shoreline's future town center this evening. Our goal was to present our idea
of a future farmers market to the city employees working on the project, as well as the community
members in attendance. The idea was very well received and had been brought up in previous
community workshops conducted by Shoreline in the past. This is a critical juncture for this
project and having the city's support in the incorporation of a seasonal farmers market into the designing and planning the future town center is our number one goal.
The future project will include further revitalization of the linear park space between 175th St and 185th St. between Aurora Ave N and Midvale Ave N. There are many proposals and ideas for what might be the best way to use this space and we strongly feel that a farmers market would complement any design or application. A FM would also serve as a great place for community gatherings and be an asset to the local economy, as well as supporting active lifestyles, sustainability, and local agriculture.
WEDNESDAY MARCH 9th will be the next town center planning meeting and we hope that anyone who
supports our project and would like to join us can make it! Your support will be greatly
appreciated!
