The City of Mountlake Terrace, the Mountlake Terrace/Brier Chamber of Commerce and the Economic Alliance Snohomish County (EASC) celebrated their new partnership with a kickoff Wednesday night at Diamond Knot Brewpub in Mountlake Terrace.
About 45 people attended the gathering, which included business leaders and elected officials.
The partnership brings together the EASC — the largest regional chamber and economic development organization in Snohomish County — and the city to provide a business-friendly environment where companies can thrive.
As part of the partnership, funded through the city’s American Rescue Plan Act dollars, EASC will provide a dedicated part-time staff member to provide chamber services and coordinate economic development activities in Mountlake Terrace. This includes the management of a community coordinating meeting bringing together all Mountlake Terrace nonprofits and service organizations, as well as the Edmonds School District, service clubs, food banks, Boys & Girls Club, faith-based groups, and business leaders.

This seems like a great partnership and excellent use of Mountlake Terrace’s American Rescue Plan funds.
It is also a great reminder of Brier’s failure to apply for their own American Rescue Plan funds, and that Dale Kaemingk cannot handle the responsibilities of being mayor.
