'Our city's growing up': Mountlake Terrace hosts inaugural Pride festival
MOUNTLAKE TERRACE — Dozens packed the Jerry Smith Plaza in Mountlake Terrace on Friday evening for the city’s inaugural Pride festival.
The city blocked off part of 58th Avenue West for an evening filled with music and drag performances, a pet strut and stroll, food trucks, and local vendors.
“I’m so happy that they brought something that’s so meaningful to our local community,” said Amber Hudson, a Mountlake Terrace resident.
The city has raised a pride flag at City Hall for the past two years, but the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Commission has always thought about doing something bigger, said Andrew Appelwick, events coordinator for the city. This year, he reached out to Edmonds Pride to help organize a Pride event in Mountlake Terrace.
