City of Shoreline

Incumbent Keith Scully is running unopposed for another term on the Shoreline City Council in Position 2. Scully was first elected to the council in 2015 and he was chosen by his fellow council members to serve as the mayor last year. Outside of elected office, Scully is an attorney at a Seattle firm that focuses on intellectual property. Previously, he worked in the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, served on Shoreline’s Planning Commission, and was a board member for the King County Conservation Voters.

On the council, Scully has been an advocate for investments in public infrastructure to make Shoreline more livable for all. In the past, he has worked to improve sidewalks, public transportation, and the city’s green spaces. Now, Scully is ensuring that as Shoreline develops with the addition of the light rail station it doesn’t just become an enclave for the rich, but instead an affordable, walkable, and vibrant community for all. 

Scully has a good track record of putting community needs first. He deserves your vote for another term in Position 2 on the Shoreline City Council.

Incumbent Councilmember Betsy Robertson is running unopposed for another term in Shoreline City Council, Position 6. Robertson was first appointed to the council in early 2019 and retained by voters later that year. She became the deputy mayor when her peers on the council elected her to the role last year. Robertson is the Communications Director for the American Red Cross Northwest Region but began her career in local journalism. Previously, she chaired the city’s Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services/Tree Board.

Since joining the council, Robertson has been an advocate for investing in community needs to strengthen Shoreline’s identity and neighborhoods. To match development rates, she wants to empower local voices and expand neighborhood mini-grants that fund community building. Robertson also wants to increase access to public parks and green spaces and replace the aging community pool with a new Community and Aquatics Center. In addition, she wants to ensure that development is strategic and environmentally friendly. Finally, if re-elected, Robertson would continue working with all levels of government to mitigate the housing crisis, which affects an increasing number of Shoreline youth as well as adults.

Betsy Robertson has brought effective and community-oriented leadership to the council. She deserves your vote for another term in Position 6 on the Shoreline City Council.
