Mountlake Terrace eyes April ballot for fire, EMS annexation vote
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Voters in Mountlake Terrace could be asked this April if they want to annex into South County Fire.
City and South County Fire leaders are pursuing the April 25 special election for Mountlake Terrace’s 13,298 registered voters, according to state Secretary of State data.
The service provider would stay the same for people in need of emergency medical help or fire response in the city, which contracts with South County Fire for those duties.
The potential cost for taxpayers isn’t yet known, as the City Council determines what to do with its tax rates.
