Welcome to the City of Mountlake Terrace Website. We hope your visit will be helpful and informative. 

A close-knit community with big mountain views, the City of Mountlake Terrace is known for its quiet residential neighborhoods, beautiful parks, trails, a lake, first-class schools and close proximity to employment centers. Mountlake Terrace is conveniently located about 12 miles north of downtown Seattle and about 15 miles south of Everett. The city is inside Snohomish County along the northern border of King County, just three miles northwest of Lake Washington.

Mountlake Terrace is home to 20,810 residents (2007 estimate from State OFM) and is about four square miles in size. In the city, visitors and residents can enjoy about 262 acres of recreational attractions including parks, playfields, two golf courses, fishing, a sports pavilion and year-round swimming in an internationally acclaimed aquatics center.

One of our top priorities is improving communications between city government and our citizens. We are constantly exploring better ideas and ways to reach out to our citizens.
