SHORELINE, WA — On Monday, Dec. 6, the Shoreline City Council voted unanimously to approve an ordinance that eliminates most uses of fossil fuels for space heating and hot water in newly constructed commercial buildings, as well as multifamily buildings that are four stories or taller. With the vote, Shoreline became the second city in the Pacific Northwest region to adopt a policy that aids in accelerating the transition to all-electric buildings by eliminating most fossil fuel uses from new commercial and large multi-family development. The Seattle City Council adopted a policy similar to Shoreline’s in February 2021.
