Flying On Water and Waves

Travis Van Overbeke

Special to the Ebbtide

As I slip into my swim suit still wet from yesterday, a chill runs the length of my spine. My wakeboard is screaming to be ridden. We slowly pull away from the comforts of home and head out to another shoreline.

Out in the middle of the lake, the waves seem to gather. There, the swells make it impossible for a smooth ride. For the cleanest ride, we stay close to the shore for the calmest waters. It’s time to give it all that I have. Read More

Special to the Ebbtide

In 2001 Shoreline Community College received its own TV station; four years later, it is barely being used now.

Summer Time and the Livin's Easy...

Get Away With These Great Summer Ideas

The first thing that comes to mind when I think about summer is: BEACH. I live right by it and see it everyday, but its not so much fun in the winter. If you're looking for something to do, nothing beats the awesome sunsets, good music, friends, and a bonfire- and booze (if you're legal....or not...) there are numerous places you can go that are right in Shoreline, or you can travel a little more: Richmond beach, Carkeek Park, Alki Beach, Matthews Beach. Or anyplace near water is great: Lake Washignton, Gasworks Park are all great places. If one of your friends is a chef, I would say BBQ would be awesome. Don't miss a summer without the beach.
