POLL: Why Did You Move to Shoreline?

Was it the schools? The natural beauty? Tell us in the comments.

Noted for its schools, trees, views of the Sound and cohesive neighborhoods, and regarded as more affordable than Seattle, Shoreline has been a desirable place to live in and move to for decades.

The city has been honored as Seattle's "Best Neighborhood" twice by Seattle Magazine, even though the Shoreline itself boasts at least 14 neighborhoods within its own borders.

Shoreline has been incorporated since 1995, and while many residents moved here prior to that, many thousands more have moved here since it has been a city.
