Recently the Edmonds school district temporarily closed a walking trail behind Mountlake Terrace High School. The trail is a vital transportation route for many students who live in both Brier and Mountlake Terrace and keeps them off of more congested streets. Apparently there was some concern over the lack of supervision for students in these areas and whether or not the trails were being used properly. Angry parent
s were told that the City of Brier was responsible for closing the gates and the city thought that maybe it was the Mountlake Terrace Police or the high school itself. After many phone calls, it was discovered that it definitely was the school district and there was a definite lack of due process which occurred.
The school district failed to realize one of the key reasons why so many people had moved to these neighborhoods and that was the fabulous system of interconnecting walking trails! All of the neighborhoods around Brier Elementary, Cedar Way Elementary, Brier Middle School, and Mountlake Terrace High School connect by trails so that the children in those areas do not have to walk on busy and congested streets to get to their schools and back home. It is a brilliant system and also amazing for fitness walkers or just casual outdoor enthusiasts. Cutting off the trail to the high school through Castle Crest 2 was a poor decision and one that the school district quickly remedied!

About Me:
Seattle real estate has been a big part of my life for well over a decade since I began my career in real estate,but also before that time when I was in the process of purchasing my own first home. Buying your first home can be quite overwhelming,but I have managed to help many first time home buyers along the way.
Move up Seattle buyers and other types of specialized purchasing is a great passion of mine!
