Shoreline offers a mix of walkable areas, particularly in neighborhoods with well-maintained sidewalks and access to parks and local amenities. The city has made efforts to improve pedestrian infrastructure, making walking a convenient option in certain parts of the community. However, the overall walkability can vary depending on the area, with some locations requiring longer distances between destinations. Weather conditions, typical of the Pacific Northwest, may also influence the comfort of walking, especially during rainy seasons. For shorter trips or leisure, walking can be a practical and enjoyable way to explore parts of Shoreline.

The city features a growing network of bike-friendly infrastructure, including bike lanes and paths that connect key areas of Shoreline. Many destinations are accessible by bicycle, and ongoing improvements aim to make biking safer and more convenient. The city’s moderate terrain supports comfortable cycling in most areas, though some routes may have inclines. Weather conditions can vary, so riders should prepare for occasional rain. Biking can be an efficient way to navigate Shoreline, especially for shorter trips or commutes.

Shorelinen joukkoliikennevaihtoehtoja ovat King County Metron, Community Transitin ja Sound Transitin liikennöivät bussit. Kaupunki on yhteydessä alueellisiin joukkoliikenteen solmukohtiin, joiden reitit kulkevat keskeisille alueille, kuten Aurora Village Transit Centeriin ja Shoreline South/148th Stationiin. Saatavilla on myös raitiovaunuyhteyksiä, jotka helpottavat matkustamista läheisiin kaupunkeihin. Infrastruktuuri tukee esteettömyyttä, ja julkinen liikenne on käytännöllinen valinta moniin kohteisiin. Käytön helppous voi kuitenkin riippua tietyistä reiteistä ja aikatauluista, joten on suositeltavaa suunnitella etukäteen, jotta matkustaminen olisi tehokasta.
