Mountlake Terrace, Suburban municipality in Snohomish County, Washington, United States.
Located 13 miles north of Seattle, Mountlake Terrace spreads across an elevated plateau offering views of Lake Washington and Mount Rainier.
Established in 1949 on a former airfield, the city incorporated in 1954 to accommodate returning veterans with affordable housing built through assembly-line construction.
The Tour de Terrace festival brings together thousands of visitors each summer, featuring local entertainment, food vendors, and community activities.
The city maintains 260 acres of recreational spaces, including an aquatic center, nine parks, three sports complexes, and fourteen athletic fields.
