Location of proposed work release site
While the Washington State Department of Corrections has identified a property on the Mountlake Terrace-Edmonds border as a leading site to evaluate further for a new work release facility, a department spokesperson said that several steps remain before a final recommendation and decision will be made.
The department is in the early stages of finding locations considered underserved or unserved to expand its work release program, and the Mountlake Terrace site was one of several identified in Snohomish County, according to Washington State Department of Corrections Communications Director Jacque Coe. “The next step in the process requires a pre-application meeting between the property owner and the City of Mountlake Terrace,” Coe said in an email, adding that meeting has not yet taken place.
