Welcome to Richmond Beach in Shoreline, Washington
Welcome to one of the most inviting, vibrant, scenic, involved and “event-full” neighborhoods in the region.
Located in the northwest corner of King County and the City of Shoreline, Richmond Beach was noted for these qualities when it was named one of the 2010 Best Places to Live by Seattle Metropolitan magazine. Our community also has vibrant volunteers dedicated to informing and enriching our community via Printed Newsletter. We have once again won "1st Place Winner, Printed Format Newsletter, Not-for-Profit Organization" awarded by NUSA. Richmond Beach Community Association (RBCA) is a Century Corporation having been incorporated for over 100 years. The Association remains a vital force in maintaining the neighborhood’s quality of life by bringing neighbors together at events, keeping them informed, and facilitating neighborhood enhancements. |

Halloween CarnivaL @ Syre
Richmond Beach Community Association’s Halloween Carnival is planned for Saturday, Oct. 22, from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., at Syre Elementary School (19545 12th Avenue NW). Children of all ages and abilities and their guardians can scare up some fun at the carnival where they will find traditional carnival games with prizes, inflatables, food and more.
Excited to help? Please sign up HERE. SOFT OPENING FOR KIDS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS Children who have a particular way of seeing, hearing, moving, feeling, thinking, or perceiving the world are often not comfortable attending functions such as this due to the commotion of large crowds and noises. To make the carnival accessible, kids with special needs and their families will have the gym to themselves for one hour from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. to play carnival games in a less busy environment while also allowing any modifications possible to meet their skills and abilities. Their parents and/ or caretakers are invited to volunteer at the carnival and use the special skills and knowledge they possess to staff the carnival games during this hour. |

- Promote and produce social events and projects that generate a sense of neighborhood and enjoyment among residents.
- Nurture engagement among the Richmond Beach community, the City of Shoreline, and surrounding communities.
