History

The southwestern region of Snohomish County was originally inhabited by the

clubhouse and later a private golf course.[6]

An interurban railway between Everett and Seattle opened in 1910, improving access from the farms to various markets. Many of these small farms failed during the Great Depression and were affected by the closure of the interurban in 1939, following the completion of Highway 99.[5] The area remained home to chicken and mink farms well into the 1950s, while areas to the south underwent suburban development.[7]

Development and incorporation

A

cinderblock homes were built in an assembly line, taking several weeks to complete and leaving landscaping and interior painting to the owners.[6][9] The homes were initially priced at a minimum of $4,999 (equivalent to $51,000 in 2023 dollars) and sold quickly, requiring expansion beyond the initial subdivision.[10][11]

Mountlake Terrace was one of the first large-scale suburban developments in the

water mains and septic tanks were prone to failure, and the community lacked protection due to their distance from the nearest sheriff's precinct.[9][15]

LaPierre and Peterson funded construction of a local

incorporation campaign in 1953 after waiting a day for the sheriff to respond to an attempted burglary at his home. He first proposed an annexation into Edmonds at a city council meeting in June 1953, where he was rejected by the mayor but approached by a city councilmember who suggested incorporating as a separate city.[16][17] An incorporation committee was formed by McMahan and other residents, including two attorneys, and collected 650 signatures for their petition to the county government.[6][18]

The county commissioners scheduled an incorporation ballot measure and a concurrent city council election for November 23, 1954. An anti-incorporation bloc was formed by Mountlake Terrace residents who were opposed to increased taxes and potential costs that were previously covered by the county government.

Early growth

Within a few years of incorporating, the city government had rebuilt most of Mountlake Terrace's original roads, added 14 miles (23 km) of sidewalks, and begun work on a permanent water and sewer system.

police department with five full-time personnel.[6][27] The Edmonds School District built several schools for the growing city, including Mountlake Terrace High School, which opened in September 1960.[28][29]

Mountlake Terrace's population increased by 50 percent within its first five years of incorporating and doubled between 1950 and 1960.

mass on June 22, 1955.[5] In 1958, the city government signed agreements with the sewer districts of Edmonds and Ronald (now part of Shoreline) to form a "Little Metro" and share treatment facilities.[31] The city also placed restrictions on relocated homes from Seattle later that year, following a surge of those displaced from the construction of Interstate 5, a major regional freeway that would later reach Mountlake Terrace.[32]

In the early 1960s, a new

bond issue in 1961 to fund construction of a permanent city hall, which opened in October 1962 with 17,800 square feet (1,650 m2) of space for the city government, police department, and fire department.[28][34] In 1964, Mountlake Terrace approved a bond issue solely for parks, which was later used to construct the Recreation Pavilion in 1968.[35][36]

Interstate 5 opened on February 3, 1965, providing faster access from bedroom communities in Snohomish County to Seattle.[37] On the same day, the adjacent area of Brier voted to be incorporated as a city, in part to prevent an annexation by Mountlake Terrace.[38][39] The two cities later settled a dispute over sewer services that would allow Brier to use Mountlake Terrace's system.[40]

Late 20th century

The completion of the

condominiums, but the average occupancy per household decreased.[44] The city government had a budget deficit of $420,000 in 1979 (equivalent to $1.42 million in 2023 dollars)[10] due to declines in revenue and its small sales tax base.[45]

Fluke moved its headquarters in Everett in 1981 and was later replaced by

elementary school in Melody Hill.[48] A 18-acre (7.3 ha) site at the southwest corner of the original subdivision with 14 homes and several small business was proposed for a hotel and commercial development that was later put on hold because of planning complications.[44][49] The site was later revived in the late 1980s as Gateway Place, an office and retail complex that began construction in 1989.[50][51]

Despite repeated decreases in spending, the city's budget had a $1.3 million deficit (equivalent to $2.78 million in 2023 dollars)

21st century redevelopment

The city government began planning for a redeveloped town center in the early 2000s, passing zoning regulations to spur the construction of

parking garage.[58][59]

The first major project to use the new town center plan, a five-story apartment building with shops, was approved in 2010 and opened in 2013 as Arbor Village.

main street (56th Avenue West).[62][63] An extension of Link light rail along Interstate 5, including a station at Mountlake Terrace Transit Center, was approved by voters in 2008 and is scheduled to open in 2024.[64] The light rail extension triggered an update to the town center in 2019 that would allow for building heights of 12 stories and encouraging walkable development with smaller blocks.[65] A strip of land along Interstate 5 near the transit center, including the former Evergreen Elementary School, is being redeveloped into a three-building housing complex with 600 apartments and retail space that will open in stages from 2020 to 2026.[66]

The city hall building was permanently closed on July 18, 2009, a year after a ceiling collapse in the city council chambers revealed structural issues and hidden
