Burglary on 17000 block of 15th NW: “4/17 on returning from a morning workout at 8:30, I found that the interior of my house had been torn apart by someone(s) looking for whatever. He had entered by cutting through an insect screen on a bathroom window. I called the police and they sent an officer to investigate, who arrived almost immediately.”

2) Sheep, llamas and goats help City’s Surface Water Utility with vegetation management in some areas within the City.
Don’t be surprised if you see goats, llamas, and sheep eating grass and invasive weeds in and around several City surface water facilities over the next several weeks. The City is working with an outside contractor who is responsible for the care and wellbeing of the animals. A shepherd will be onsite full time for larger sites and part time in fully fenced smaller areas.
This pilot project will test the feasibility and quality of using animals for vegetation management in some areas within the City. Using goats and similar animals allows for a lower environmental impact while keeping costs under control.
Locations:
18351 10th Ave NE
241 NE 170th St (adjacent)
401 NW 175th St (Boeing Creek Park)
16505 Greenwood Ave N (adjacent to Carlyle Hall Road)

All sites have a care taker that stops by intermittently but may not be on the site full time. All areas will have fencing of some type (chain link or temporary electric).
If you have questions, concerns or feedback, please contact Senior Engineering Technician Eric Gilmore at 206-801-2454 or egilmore@shorelinewa.gov
