Northeast Perkins Pl, Shoreline

I grew up just off NE 185th St, with I-5 in my back yard. As a kid, I would walk or ride my bike up the street to school or to buy candy or comics at the 7-11 near Aurora. It was safe, clean, and the neighbors were always willing to help.

I still go back to the neighborhood to visit. The city of Shoreline has added a few improvements, built up the campus of the Shoreline School District to offer services to the local community, and generally kept the street clean and safe.

It's labeled as an arterial, but since it lacks a freeway entrance it doesn't attract the heavy traffic of some other streets, like 175th. At the same time, it's pretty easy to get to anywhere you want to go. Just hop on Aurora or skip down to 175th and you're golden!
