Absolutely nailed it with Shoreline. It’s a great place for a classic big house on a big lot with big trees along some busy roads. The power outages can’t be underestimated because they can last days, especially in the winter if the roads are icy.
Lived in Shoreline 2004-2020, and this is a realistic view. Great place to raise a family, east of I-5 is close to good schools and transportation, loved it while we were there. Had the classic four bed/three bath split level, with a decent-sized yard, but when the kids were out of school, got out.
I guess its changed more than I thought, but unless you are more than a mile away from Aurora, no its really not. Unless you want your kids walking up to hookers or getting kidnapped.
I lived in North Seattle from late 90's to 2011, just blocks from the Seattle/Shoreline city border - N 145th St. Fair assesment overall, though I wasn't aware of the propensity for power outages, but it makes sense. I lived between Aurora Ave N and I-5 (near Meridian Ave N) - I didn't see any of the affects of Aurora Ave N/Hwy-99/ 'the strip' in my immediate neighborhood , but the concerns are well founded. Lots of nefarious activity is conducted along Hwy99... but I always felt it 'cleaned up' a bit north of N 145th St - Shoreline's southern border with Seattle. Shoreline's Hwy99 improvements - adding the plant filled meridian in the road, and adding the sidewalks did add to an atmosphere of a nicer environment, especially compared to the neglected state of Hwy99 in Seattle.
Moving to Shoreline in about a week. Very informative, though nothing remotely dealbreaking for me. The PNW is beautiful, and this looks like most of the same, so I'm very much content.
Seems lip addressing Lake Forest Park along with Shoreline would make sense since they are essentially the same community and parts of the same school district.
We love our trees here…. All the moss😳 .. not so much. Aurora started to get cleaned up….then post Covid, Aurora returned to its bad reputation…. And actually has gotten worse.

Tova, do you review Camas, WA?
No, Camas is not in my area. It’s closer to Portland.
Any video about Issaqua ?
Here you go :)

You mentioned the 'sketchy' areas of Aurora Ave. Does the city of Shoreline have a significant homeless problem?
Yes
Aurora put me off immediately
