The Mountlake Terrace City Council work session on November 12, 2026, included an Economic Alliance of Snohomish County update, a third-quarter financial report, and review of a proposed 2027 property-tax levy. The Alliance described its business-retention and economic-development services and asked the city to continue investing alongside regional partners, but no specific city contribution or funding decision was presented. It reported that Apex-supported county businesses had won 453 government contracts worth $17 million through the third quarter, and noted grants including a combined $9,400 for the Mountlake Terrace Chamber and Hemlock State Brewing. Council members and Alliance representatives agreed to develop a city-specific economic-development work plan; no vote was taken on that item.

The financial report said the Westside Water Main 2 project had recorded about $1 million in third-quarter spending. Council reviewed a Snohomish PUD switch-vault relocation agreement tied to the Main Street Phase 2 construction project, intended to coordinate utility work and preserve right-of-way; staff planned to bring it to the November 19 consent calendar, with no contract amount stated. Council also reviewed, but did not adopt, the 2027 property-tax levy options; staff recommended action after a public hearing at the next meeting. Discussion addressed banked levy capacity, effects on residents, and requests for a fuller estimate of proposed household cost increases. No procurement awards or spending-related votes were taken during the work session.
