Local business given awards

The Puget Sound Business Journal and the Seattle Foundation have named Shoreline's James Alan Salon as its Healthy Community Corporate Champion for Neighborhoods and Communities. Currently located at N 185th and Aurora, the Salon is known for its corporate and individual community service and giving. Employees and owner Matthew Fairfax support United Way, the Dale Turner YMCA, Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, Ryther Child Center, and Banchero Friends Services, as well as providing free haircuts to residents of Tent City, and to school children at the Back To School Consortium event.

In April, the James Alan Salon was also honored by the Shoreline PTA Council, with their Outstanding Business Award.
