The City of Mountlake Terrace is now accepting nominations for its eighth
annual Evergreen Awards program that builds community pride, enhances the
city’s image, and promotes conservation. This program was established in 2009
to recognize property owners who take great care of their properties.
There
are five categories of awards: Best Maintained Residence, Best Maintained
Business, Best Maintained Multifamily Property, Most Sustainable Property, and
Best Transformation. Nominees are judged against properties within the same
neighborhood: Cedar Terrace, Gateway, Lake Ballinger, Melody Hill, Cascade
View, and Town Center.
Best
Maintained Awards reflect the efforts of the owners or occupants whose high
standards for building and yard maintenance contribute to the overall character
of the neighborhoods and city. The Transformation Awards recognize neglected
properties renovated to become assets to the community.
Citizens
are encouraged to help us find those hidden gems that have been significantly
improved, especially over the past year.
The
Sustainable Award honors property owners who best utilize green features such
as solar heating, natural cooling and native landscaping to help protect and preserve
the environment.
Nomination
forms, available online at www.cityofmlt.com
and at city facilities, will be accepted through May 27, 2017. Those
interested may also send an email to cityhall@ci.mlt.wa.us
with Evergreen Awards in the subject line and include the address, category,
and reason for nominating the property. Anyone can submit a nomination and a
property owner may nominate their own home or business. Properties being
marketed for sale are not eligible.
Properties
will be photographed for judging and for a presentation at the awards ceremony,
which takes place in September.
For
more information, check our website or contact Community Relations Director Virginia
Olsen at (425)744-6206 or volsen@ci.mlt.wa.us.
