A virtual gathering next week will provide the opportunity to learn about the health of your local watershed. The city is seeking input on which local creeks and lakes are most in need of improvement.
If you appreciate having a creek in your neighborhood, or enjoy fishing, boating and swimming at Lake Ballinger, join the discussion! Participants will help prioritize investments in future water quality for the City of Mountlake Terrace.
The “Watershed Discussion” webinar is set for noon Thursday, May 19. Staff will provide an overview of the status of the city’s watersheds, talk about fish use in local creeks and Lake Ballinger, and discuss other watershed-wide factors, such as growth potential, pollutants and the impacts of heavy traffic.
This one-hour program is hosted by the city and the Snohomish Conservation District. To register and receive the Zoom link, visit https://snocd.org/mltwatershed.
The city partners with the Snohomish Conservation District on efforts around natural yard care, habitat restoration and youth education.
