Friends of Paramount is a charitable organization established in 2019. We are composed of local Shoreline neighbors who volunteer their time to enhance the ecological and community value of Paramount Open Space through ecological restoration, community engagement, and education. Our volunteer work conducted at Paramount Open Space is governed by an agreement with the City of Shoreline, Department of Parks, Recreation, and Cultural Services, and the Green Shoreline Partnership.
Who We Are
Jim Cronan
A forester with over a decade of experience participating in ecological restoration
projects, Jim has contributed to restoration efforts throughout the Seattle area. His
commitment to restoring native plant species and revitalizing habitats disturbed by
invasive species has made a significant impact at Paramount Open Space. Jim’s
expertise and love for watching native plant communities take hold in formerly degraded
areas is evident in his ongoing volunteer work. Jim founded Friends of Paramount in
2018 and since that time a group of dedicated volunteers have been able to restore
native species to nearly half of the parks 10 acres.

Tina Worthington
Mom of two, Tina volunteers her time and varied skills to help improve Paramount Open Space park and the Friends of Paramount website. Tina became an official volunteer Forest Steward in March 2025 but has joined past work parties at Paramount and assisted Jim since 2019. This park holds a special place in her heart as her wedding reception took place at Paramount. She is excited to learn more about forest restoration through hands-on experience.
