Montlake Market Property Q&A from November meeting published
Thank you to all who attended our Nov. 7, 2018, public meeting regarding the Montlake Market. We received many questions from the community that night, and in the following weeks, about the SR 520 Montlake Project and how our construction might affect the market. We’ve compiled those questions and answered them in our latest Montlake Market Property Q&A document, which you can find online.
Text-to-9-1-1 is a new service in King County that will help those who are deaf, hard of hearing, speech impaired, and anyone who might be unsafe if they were to be heard by an intruder or abusive partner. While texting to 9-1-1 is a vital tool that increases accessibility to emergency services, the preferred method for those who can speak is to call.
If you do need to text 9-1-1 in an emergency:
There are limitations to text-to-9-1-1 including:
Please help keep 9-1-1 available for those who need it. Do not send test texts. Text-to-9-1-1 is not for anonymous tips.
Montlake Elementary School is looking for tutors for the remainder of the 2019 school year. As a paid tutor you can work up to 19 hours a week. Tutors assist in one or more classrooms. Tutors do a variety of tasks including working with students one-on-one, assisting with lesson preparations, facilitating small group activities, playground supervision and more! Tutors are such a great asset to our teachers and Montlake as a whole. If you are interested, please contact Principal Julie Pearson at jepearson@seattleschools.org.
From all of us at the Montlake Community Club, thank you! On Monday we gave the University District Food Bank a check for $30,000, the net proceeds from the Montlake 5K Turkey Trot & Kids Run. Said Paul Yunker, Development Director of the Food Bank, “It goes without saying that $30,000 is a tremendous donation. We are aware of the amount of work and the support necessary to achieve a donation of that size. Thank you Montlake Community Club and community!”

We raised $7,000 more than last year, which we attribute to 3 things: increased corporate sponsorship, raffle earnings–which were enabled by fantastic sponsor donations and generous participants, and increased 5K participation. Consider visiting these local businesses who sponsored the race and donated the prizes: Earth + Wind + Fire Yoga, Glam & Tonics AVEDA Salon, Café Lago, Wilcynski Partners Real Estate, Oculus Eyecare, Montlake Blvd Market, Little Lago, Audi Seattle, Bad Cat Events, Darcy LaBelle Real Estate, KHBB Law, Stokes Lawrence, Rivalry Events, Arboretum Dermatology, Sound Community Bank, Meditate Seattle, HDR, Molly Moon’s, Mont’s Market, and Capitol Hill-Montlake Dentistry.
Our volunteers were essential to the race. Volunteers helped with everything from hanging signs to course monitoring. To all of you who helped, thank you!
Thanks to the Arboretum and the Arboretum Foundation for letting us have the race in this beautiful treasure. The MCC has given a donation to the foundation to show our appreciation, and we encourage you to do the same.
