Inclement Weather Policy
The Mountlake Terrace Recreation & Parks Department follows the Edmonds School District’s recommendations on school days between Monday and Friday regarding closure of schools due to inclement weather. Weekends will be updated a minimum of two (2) hours prior to facility opening.
If Edmonds School District announces a Late Start:
If the Edmonds School District has a two-hour late start, the Recreation Pavilion will open two hours late for drop-in programs. Junior Kids Krew and all Kids Krew sites will also start two hours late, opening at 8:30 a.m. instead of 6:30 a.m. In this situation, Preschool and Kindergarten Readiness will be canceled. For Swimming Lessons and Dance Classes on delayed start days, we will cancel the classes held during the delay. All classes held after the delay will begin at their regularly scheduled time.
If Edmonds School District announces a Closure:
If the Edmonds School District has canceled school due to inclement weather, the Recreation Pavilion will open two hours late for drop-in activities UNLESS posted differently on the City’s social media sites, or voicemail recording (such as closures). Programs such as all Kids Krew sites, Junior Kids Krew, Preschool, Kindergarten Readiness, Swimming Lessons, Water Fitness, Land Fitness and Dance Classes with a start time before 3 p.m. will be canceled. Weather conditions will be reassessed in the afternoon for late afternoon and evening programs.
Non-School Days:

Programs such as all Kids Krew sites, Junior Kids Krew, Preschool, Kindergarten Readiness, Swimming Lessons, Water Fitness, Land Fitness and Dance Classes with a start time before 3 p.m. will be canceled.
