Gateway
Neighborhood in Mountlake Terrace, Washington
Snohomish County 98043
About 15 miles north of Seattle. Gateway is one of six neighborhoods in Mountlake Terrace, a community originally designed for World War II veterans coming home after service, but officially incorporated in 1954.
Gateway, which makes up the southern chunk of Mountlake Terrace, is mostly comprised of traditional single-family homes and townhomes. Homes in Gateway fill protracted, and sometimes winding, residential blocks; homes in Gateway tend to have lawns of small to moderate size, and some blocks are lined with sidewalks. Houses tend to date back to around 1950 — the era when Mountlake Terrace was taking root. But the styles of homes vary from traditional, one-story ramblers to spacious multi-story Craftsman constructions. There are also newer townhome developments in Gateway, as well as a new community of cottage-style homes named Velorum.
There are two primary park spaces within Gateway, one is Terrace Ridge Park and the other is the Forest Crest Playfield complex. Terrace Ridge Park is the bigger of the two, with 6 acres of space containing paths to walk, a playground and open hillsides. Forest Crest Playfield is a youth sports destination, with a pair of baseball fields and a T-ball field that can double as a soccer field. The Mountlake Terrace Youth Athletic Association uses the fields for its leagues over the course of the year.
Gateway, and the rest of Mountlake Terrace, is part of the Edmonds School District, which includes three elementary schools, a middle school and a high school.
Van Ry Road, in a western pocket of Gateway, is a thoroughfare in the neighborhood, routing to a post office, Axis Pharmacy Northwest and a movie theater, Regal Cinebarre Mountlake. There are multiple restaurants nearby as well, including Mazatlan Mexican Restaurant Mountlake and Gabriel’s Fire Restaurant, Grill and BBQ. Gabriel’s Fire uses all made-from-scratch recipes, for everything on its menu.
To the north, Hemlock State Brewing Co. is a popular watering hole. Founded by three former homebrewers, the business expanded out of a converted garage into its current location on 56th Avenue West. A variety of ales, IPAs and lagers are available in a taproom that’s open seven days a week.
The Gateway neighborhood is apt for athletes, too. Next to the Forest Crest Playfield complex is the Forest Crest Athletic Club, which offers youth and adult tennis lessons. The facility has indoor tennis courts that can be booked, and features pickleball courts as well. To the west, just beyond the confines of the neighborhood, sits the Nile Shrine Golf Course — a public circuit with a par 67 layout. Private and group golf lessons are available there.
There are multiple annual events that take place just outside of Gateway. One is Mountlake’s yearly July 3 fireworks show, at Ballinger Park, with music and food trucks, before a fireworks display over Lake Ballinger. Another is the city’s annual tree lighting in December, at city hall. The event includes choir performances, hot cocoa, cookies and more. And the Arts of the Juried Art Show, which has run for more than 40 years, is held at Mountlake Terrace Public Library. It’s one of the most prominent juried art shows in the Pacific Northwest, with hundreds of art pieces on display.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
