About Us

Yep. You guessed it. This is the Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association website. Check back here for news and events in Ridgecrest and around Shoreline. Who the heck are we? We’re your friendly local 501-(c)3 nonprofit community organization. If that doesn’t mean much to you, think of us as a group of your neighbors who are looking out for the neighborhood.

The RNA (that’s the Ridgecrest Neighborhood Association’s handy Three Letter Acronym, or TLA for short) offers programs, services and activities aimed at building a strong community here in Ridgecrest. We’re headquartered in the Eastside Neighborhood Police Center where we’ve built a pretty active community center. Haven’t been yet? Check it out. We offer a wide variety of programs and activities open to anyone in the Shoreline area.

How You Get Involved

You might be thinking, “I want a strong community, what can I do?” Funny you should ask. Membership in the RNA is available to and encouraged for all residents, property owners, business licensees, and non-profit organizations within the designated boundaries. No person shall be denied membership on the basis of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, handicap or political affiliation.

What the RNA does

Like all good associations, the RNA has a purpose. Ours is to serve Ridgecrest in three ways.
1. By informing and educating the public on matters relating to the community.
2. Promoting projects that benefit and enhance the quality of life in the Ridgecrest Neighborhood.
3. Providing representation for the interaction with Council of Neighborhoods and the City of Shoreline.
