Mountlake Terrace: City plans survey of citizens
Mountlake Terrace plans to send surveys to 1,200 residents to help city officials understand what kinds of changes people would like to see.
The surveys will likely be sent out during the next few weeks. Recipients will be randomly selected.
Results of the surveys are expected to be included in a final report that city officials can use in planning and budgeting.
Mountlake Terrace is one of the first cities in the state to use this type of survey. The model has been used in several other states.
