SUMMARY:Future of Burien’s Shark Garden in focus as school district explores relocation plans on Monday\, Mar. 30
DESCRIPTION:Community members are encouraging public attendance at Highline Public Schools Capital Facilities Advisory Committee (CFAC) meeting this coming Monday\, Mar. 30 as they highlight the importance of the Shark Garden as a key community resource in the Burien and White Center area. \nAs we previously reported\, Highline Public Schools is considering constructing a new Cascade Middle School on property adjacent to the garden. While organizers said they would welcome a school on the site as it was previously\, they are concerned that the garden would need to be destroyed and removed as part of the redesign. \nThe CFAC meeting is scheduled for Monday\, Mar. 30\, from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Puget Sound Skills Center Health Sciences Building\, located at 18010 8th Ave South in Burien. \nThe CFAC plans to finalize its recommendation at Monday’s meeting; more info here. \nWhile public comment will not be taken\, the meeting is open for viewing. \nCFAC leaders acknowledged community concerns raised through feedback\, particularly about the future of the Shark Garden\, and said they are working to identify a new location for it\, including potential sites at the former Beverly Park campus or the current Cascade Middle School site after demolition. \n“Clearly\, no one wants to lose the Shark Garden from our community\,” officials said. “Highline staff are committed to helping the community garden\, currently at the Salmon Creek site\, to locate a new home.” \nOrganizers describe the Shark Garden as “a critical community asset\,” citing its role in food access\, education\, environmental stewardship and community health. \nAccording to a summary provided by organizers\, the 1.6 acre site has delivered measurable impacts across South King County communities. Since 2021\, the garden has produced about 7\,000 pounds of organic produce for local food banks and contributed more than 16\,500 volunteer hours. \nThe site also serves as an education and gathering hub\, hosting more than 145 free classes and community events and drawing participants from 22 ZIP codes. More than 600 people are served annually through workshops\, while community events attract over 2\,000 participants each year. \nShark Garden also supports 76 affordable garden plots\, with about 90 percent used by families of color\, including immigrant and refugee households\, according to the summary. \nIn addition to food production and education\, the site contributes to environmental research and sustainability efforts. It includes an apiary\, native plant habitat and serves as a research location for the Washington Bee Atlas Project documenting pollinators. \nAdvocates say the garden’s location in a neighborhood identified as having high environmental health disparities underscores its importance as a community resource offering access to green space\, education and locally grown food. \nMore info is available in the CFAC agenda packet here.
