Launched in 2017, CityWise is a civic education and engagement program offered by the City of Shoreline. Over 9 weeks, a cohort of participants will dive into engaging presentations on the range of services provided by the city and will ultimately be charged with applying their learnings to develop a city budget. 

CityWise is a great opportunity to learn how the City of Shoreline operates and to connect with other community members.

Previous program graduates have gone on to serve on City Boards, and even City Council! 

• Anyone who lives, works, and/or goes to school in Shoreline and is over the age of 16 may apply.
• Class size is limited to 30 participants and priority will be given to applicants who are Shoreline residents.  
• Applicants should ensure they can attend all CityWise sessions prior to applying.

• From City Government 101 to Planning and Building for Today and Tomorrow, a wide range of topics will be covered during this program.
• City Staff will offer a deep dive in their area of expertise through engaging presentations and exercises.
• The cohort model of CityWise allows you to get familiar with other members of the community throughout the 9-week program.

CityWise will return next year! 

Next year's calendar will be posted in January 2026.
