Location: 1341 N 185th Street

This 0.70-acre property located at 1341 N 185th Street consisted of five separate parcels with the same owner. Purchase price for the property was $1,480,000.

The City received a King County Conservation Futures Tax (CFT) grant for 100% of the appraised value.

The park is named in honor of civil rights leader and Shoreline resident Edwin Pratt. Naming the park after Edwin Pratt honors his legacy and the impact he has had on our community. It will also serve as a place for reflection. As part of the requirements for using the Conservation Futures Tax grant, the City can only develop 15% of the park with hard surfaces, so the remaining portion will be a natural refuge.

Park Naming Process

On April 19, 2021, City Council adopted names for Shoreline’s two newest parks. The park located at 709 N 150th Street was named Westminster Park and the park located at 1341 N 185th Street was named Edwin Pratt Memorial Park.

The park naming process began with the City soliciting potential park names from the public for both parks. Taking all of the submitted suggestions, City staff sent recommendations to the Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Board. The Board deliberated and forwarded their recommendations of Westminster Park and Edwin Pratt Memorial Park to the City Council.

This wooded property located at 709 N 150th Street was purchased by the City in 2020 using funds from Park Impact Fees paid through new development. Purchase price for the 0.43 acres property was $620,000. The park sits almost in the middle of the Westminster Triangle neighborhood.

Improvements to this park will be guided by the community’s input and could include amenities such as a small playground, community garden, gathering area, and pollinator habitat.

The City purchased this property in 2023 with King County Conservation Futures grant money. The Conservation Futures program uses a local property tax levy to conserve open space lands within King County. The grant comes with the requirement that, at most, 15% of the site can be developed with hard surfaces. Trails aren’t included in the calculation. The intent is to keep the space as open and natural as possible while allowing for low-impact recreation.

This site is located on the waterfront of Echo Lake. We will be working toward a design for the park that provides residents with water access while keeping within the rules of the Conservation Futures grant.
