History:
|
Previously
known as "Alderwood Manor", this area was first settled at the
turn of the century when the logging industries
flourished. Subsequently the land was platted into
"ranches" for the growing of mink, chinchillas, and poultry. The
residential community of Mountlake Terrace began with the speculative
construction of homes for returning WWII veterans and their young
families. Within ten years the population had grown to 5,000 and a group
of civic minded residents took steps to create a municipal government. The
citizens enthusiastically set to work building a City Hall with a full
range of services for it's growing population. |
