Before the walls come down, alumni of Mountlake Terrace Elementary are being given one more chance to raise a ruckus at their old stomping grounds.
Mountlake Terrace Elementary is hosting a Reunion Celebration on Friday, June 9, and inviting all who attended the school since its opening in 1959 to come and join in on the festivities.
The event begins at 5 p.m. with an Open House and Decade Reunions throughout the school. The entire facility will be available for wandering through and reminiscing. In addition, those who attended the school in the 1959 through the 1970’s are invited to gather in Rooms 19 and 20, alumni from the 1980’s and 1990’s in Unit A, school attendees from the 2000’s in Unit B and the current decade in Unit C.
The Celebration will include a music performance by current first graders at 5:30 p.m., followed at 6 p.m. by the school PTO’s annual barbecue and egg drop.
Other activities at the event include a photo booth with fun props and an opportunity to sign the principal office’s wall.
The current Mountlake Terrace Elementary School is scheduled to be torn down starting in July to make way for a new 62,500 square-foot facility. The $36.25 million project is expected to be completed in time for the 2018-2019 school year.

This makes me so sad… 1969-1975
Are they gonna build a school? or it will be develop as Condo place…
It will be a new school — as stated in the story above, the new school is expected to open in the 2018-2019 school year.
Thank you for your Reply. So glad they will keep that school…
Maybe they will end up unburying our time capsule from the 3rd grade in the early 1970’s. So many good memories with my cousins here.
