Welcome

The key to Shoreline is our neighborhoods. On the City Council and as Mayor, Cindy Ryu has been a tireless advocate, not just in protecting our neighborhoods, but enhancing them.
Cindy believes that the first priority of the City Council should be to ensure our neighborhoods are safe, environmentally and economically sound and sustainable, and represented by a transparent City Council that listens to the concerns of neighborhood leaders.

Keeping our Neighborhoods Safe
While some on the City Council were trying to scale back City Council goals, Cindy voted to increase the public safety budget and put more police officers on patrol, in our schools, and involving our community with block watch and community policing.

A Transparent City Council
Cindy ran for City Council to change the way business was done in Shoreline. Making the Council’s work transparent and open to all Shoreline’s residents has been a priority for Cindy. As Councilmember and Mayor, Cindy Ryu has been approachable, changed the tone of neighborhood engagement, and shined the light on our city operations.

Protecting our Natural and Built Environment
Cindy’s leadership resulted in Shoreline neighbors saving the South Woods from becoming development tracts and preserving the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden. She improved the Aurora Avenue Project by involving citizens and the business community. As a small business owner, Cindy understands and helps local, family-owned businesses thrive.

Proven Leadership
Cindy leads the fight with other members of the City Council and Shoreline community in implementing Shoreline’s Environmental Sustainability Strategy, Economic Development Plan and Comprehensive Housing Strategy so that development is coordinated and in harmony with the long-term vision for Shoreline.
