Historical accounts indicate the local Duwamish people caught salmon and trout, dug clams and other shellfish, and hunted deer, elk, beaver, muskrat, martin, mink, otter, and waterfowl, including ducks. An estimated 600 members of the Duwamish lived in Shoreline prior to the 1850s, and were supported by an abundant array of wild foods, including fish from the local rivers and lakes, shellfish and other seafood from the beaches and waters of the Puget Sound, game from the forests and marshes, and plants from the wetlands, forests, and meadows. Shoreline was inhabited by Duwamish groups long before the first Euro-American pioneers began arriving. The City kept the name of “Shoreline” when it incorporated in 1995. The local school district chose the name “Shoreline” in the 1940s because it described the district’s extent from “shore to shore” (Lake Washington to Puget Sound) and “line to line” (Seattle City line to King / Snohomish County line). The term “garden” is used in this article to describe food gardens, as opposed to flower or other types of gardens. Although “Shoreline” is used in the description of historical events throughout this article, much of the history described herein occurred before this area was actually known as “Shoreline.” For reference, Shoreline’s modern day neighborhood names have been included (in parentheses) throughout this article, although some of these neighborhood names were established after the historical events described. The berry farms, dairies, and chicken ranches of the early 20th century, the depression era “survival gardens” and wartime “victory gardens,” and the community gardens and farmers markets of today have all helped connect Shoreline residents to at least some of the sources of their food.įor the purposes of this article, “Shoreline” is used to describe what is now the City of Shoreline, but may also include parts of what is now the City of Lake Forest Park (LFP).
