About 25 people attended the Mountlake Terrace Chamber of Commerce networking event Tuesday at Getaway Tavern. As local business owners and city staff shared stories over drinks and onion rings, Chamber Chair Sarah Frost introduced Lauren Stiger from  Domestic Violence Services of Snohomish County, who is organizing the nonprofit’s next fundraiser.

Stiger said the next fundraiser — the 34th Annual Chocolate and Wine Lovers Gala — will be at Tulalip Resort Casino on Friday, April 3, 2026.
