Shoreline, WALocal News

A public meeting hosted by the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is scheduled for April 10, 2025, to discuss the rezone of the Fircrest campus property. This proposed change seeks to alter the zoning designation from "Campus Zone" to "Central Business Zone" for the 10. 3-acre site. According to Matthew Matulovich, DNR Transition Lands Planning Manager, the rezone is designed to keep future use options flexible, allowing for a variety of potential developments. Currently, there are no concrete plans for the site, but the rezone is a crucial step in determining its future.

The public meeting will provide an opportunity for community input and discussion regarding the future of this significant piece of land. Attendees are encouraged to enter through the north parking lot of the Shoreline Center, where the meeting will be held at 5:30 PM. This rezone has the potential to impact local development and economic growth significantly. Residents and stakeholders are urged to participate in this important dialogue about the future of the Fircrest campus.
