The 7-Eleven in Shoreline on North 185th Street is conveniently located between Shorewood High School and the cluster of activity sites at and around the Shoreline Center (such as Shoreline Park, the Spartan Recreation Center, and formerly the Shoreline Pool). When I was in high school, I traversed this street on my way to and from swim team practice and water polo practice. The 7-Eleven was perfectly located in case needing a convenience store type snack, especially if on the way home - the turn in was very easy to navigate.
On one of our water polo practice days in approximately 2009/2010, our coach had us walk from the Shoreline Pool to the 7-Eleven at this site and bought us all one treat before we did our practice in the water. The walk was dubbed our dryland training as part of practice and I went with Mentos that day, something not too hard to eat on our walk back to the pool.
Today, Monday 13 November 2023, I came and got one of the made fresh daily donuts, a maple bar, as well as a 7 Days soft croissant (strawberry and vanilla) from the packaged baked goods section. The store was easy to navigate, the front counter easy to find, and payment was straightforward. Both items were tasty and made a satisfying morning sweet treat snack. The parking lot was small and busy on my visit. Workers and other patrons were friendly in our interactions. read more
