Amorn Thai in Mountlake Terrace -

YES!  Mountlake Terrace is making hanging out in the Seattle Suburbs worth every bite!  I have long been a fan of Thai food and have frequented delicious Thai places like Penn Thai in Bothell and Chantanee in Bellevue, but Amorn Thai BLOWS THEM AWAY in my mind!  This is a tiny little Thai restaurant in the unlikely spot of Mountlake Terrace, but neighbors are thanking their lucky stars that it is here!

 

Where is it?

They do great take out or dine in and are so nice on top of it.  There is a special burst of flavor with each dish and a huge vegetarian selection.  The dish pictured is one of my favorite - The Praram Tofu (item V1 under vegetarian) - it is a yummy peanut sauce which is both spicy and sweet over tofu, spinach, and broccoli.  You can eat it with or without rice.  I also love the second vegetarian dish - Tofu Kra-Prow.  It has such a great mixture of basil and chili garlic sauce.  The spring rolls are peppery and perfect and I like to order them with the spicy plum sauce on the side instead of the normal dipping sauce.  Phad Thai is always a great gage for a Thai restaurant for me and Amorn Thai makes a perfect Phad Thai! Top it off with Thai Iced Tea or Thai Iced Coffee and it is perfection. Lunch with all the perks - drink and appetizers ran $25 for two and there were plenty of leftovers for later.

Mountlake Terrace real estate should really benefit from this amazing project not to mention the other revitalization projects on the horizon! Mountlake Terrace is already such an ideal location for home buyers who want to stay close to Seattle, but also crave the openness of the Seattle suburbs and the bus ride into Downtown Seattle is very fast!

OH! Before I forget - here are more details on bus routes, etc. for this project:

Also, there are wonderful glass art pieces at this new Transit Center designed by local high school students. Here is just one:

Seattle Area Snowfall

The weather forecasted rain on the way to Western Washington with increased warming but there still were plenty of snowflakes over Mountlake Terrace the day after Christmas as you'll see in the video below. Other areas around Seattle did experience some rain and rain/snow mixtures to set the predicted meltdown in motion.

I had a woman contact me the other day wondering what changes were taking place towards the Mountlake Terrace Downtown Revitalization. Since the city hasn't updated their website in awhile, I contacted Shane Hope, the Community and Economic Development Director for the city of MLT. He was very helpful and passed along the following list to show the efforts and progress towards the revitalization:

--New downtown regulations (at http://www.ci.mountlake-terrace.wa.us/forBusinesses/pdf/BCD_Amend_ORD_08.04.08_Fnl.pdf ) and design standards (at http://www.ci.mountlake-terrace.wa.us/forBusinesses/pdf/DesignStandards_TC_August2008_Fnl.pdf ) implement the adopted Town Center Plan.

--The Town Center Environmental Impact Statement was issued last year.

--A Town Center Planned Action Ordinance to streamline the SEPA process for downtown projects was adopted last year.

--New parking standards (with stall dimensions + options for shared parking) have been adopted.

--The City has incorporated $3 million into its capital plan to develop a downtown public plaza.

--Mountlake Terrace has adopted a "Sustainability Strategy" encouraging green building and other practices.

--A new five-level park-and-ride garage (1/4 mile from downtown, adjacent to I-5 and 236th)) is under construction.

--Construction of a Sounds Transit "Freeway Station" (an express bus station that will be in the median of I-5 and connect via a pedestrian bridge to the adjacent park-and-ride garage) will start in early 2009 and be completed in 2010.

--A new citywide Economic Vitality Strategy is expected to be ready for public review by October 10.

--The City Council has appointed a taskforce to provide recommendations by the end of the year on what to do regarding the need for new civic facilities, including a community center that could be located downtown.

--Our "development services" (permitting) program has been revamped to be even more efficient.

The city is always glad to share information or respond to questions about downtown revitalization in Mountlake Terrace. Shane Hope can be reached at 425.744.6281. An associate planner, Paula Schwartz at 425.744.6280, can provide day-to-day information about permits or arrange to provide copies of plot plans for any parcel; she also can schedule pre-application meetings.
