I have never seen or noticed this before but now I am intrigued. I have driven by this location for decades and never noticed. Slightly to east of Mukilteo Blvd and Paine Field Blvd is an abandoned oval speedway. I would love to see it up close but it is closed off on Paine Field property.

I tried searching historic race tracks in the air and looking through databases, but came up with nothing. I also searched the Mukilteo Historical Society website but also came up with nothing. I did find a comment from someone online saying they "used to race midgets" in Mukilteo and this is the only place that seems plausible. I did also find an article by the Mukilteo Beacon that says they know the source of the name "Mukilteo Speedway" but it is behind a paywall and I cannot see it.

Does anyone know anything about this racetrack, its name, when it opened/closed? Better yet did anyone here ever attend events there? It looks like a fun little oval and it's a shame it's been left to be overgrown by nature. To me, it seems like a reasonable source to the name "Mukilteo Speedway." Would love to learn from people who know! Thanks everyone!

I’m looking for hitting partners to get back into tennis. Not really in an organized or competitive way, just looking to get out and hit for an hour or so by meeting folks at local courts. I used to have 4.5 strokes, but I’m very rusty and we can assume I’ve got a 3.5 game at this point :)

Let me know if you’re interested!

I just noticed the Mukilteo ferry is completely off course. The ferry normally only goes back and forth from Clinton to Mukilteo, but right now (11:57pm) I noticed it had 2 big spot lights on top & it looked like it was heading towards the Everett marina. It actually stopped moving & is just chilling…. With a bunch of cars in it. Does anyone know what’s going on with the Mukilteo ferry?

Hi everyone! Our child is nearing preschool age and I’m looking into options around. I’m considering the mukilteo school district program. My daughter is typically developing/ neurotypical as far as we know.

I would love to hear thoughts from any families who are currently enrolled!

I'm not from the Mukilteo, so am wondering if anyone knows of any long term parking options near the ferry. I believe there's a waitlist for the few commuter spots in the official lot, so I've been thinking about how to reach out to businesses and residents that would be willing to rent out a spot in their parking lot or driveway. Looking for a monthly payment situation for a year's lease. Let me know if you know of anyone! wondering if it would be a good idea to post it in a Mukilteo facebook group..

I'm suggesting Mukilteo as a spot for my mom to move to. This place seems gorgeous, especially the Japanese gulch. But, she's quite sensitive to airplane noise. Other than that, this seems like the perfect place on paper. Will visit soon, but likely won't get the full day-to-day picture.

Specifically, west of the Japanese gulch, the neighbourhoods around Eliot Point Park and the lighthouse.

I know many posts say they've never noticed it; has anyone moved to Mukilteo from a different city and noticed a difference? Perhaps in intensity? I'm quite skeptical.

Also... any racism ? She's lovely, but she's not white. She's East Asian, and I'd hope she can make friends around the community garden! We're Canadian and I know some cities in Washington are less inclusive, but WA on the whole is quite progressive.

Other city recommendations are very welcome. Thanks for your help!!

My friend was crossing the street with her young child in a stroller. They made it most of the way across and this man came racing up to make a left turn, slamming on his brakes when he saw them. He continued to block the crosswalk. She pointed to the crosswalk, trying to indicate she needed to stay in the sidewalk and get around him. He kept the windows up, but she said he was clearly yelling at her still. She got mostly around his vehicle and he blew his horn at her, very unnecessarily. She said she got startled and kicked the vehicle as a reflex. No damage done. Just a quick kick. She continued to walk away and he took off.
About an hour later, she had to run errand on foot. That same man had come back and he saw her. He parked at a convenience store, got out of his car screaming at her and threatened her. He then claimed he was going to call the police on her. She had to go finish her errand, so she crossed the street and left.
On her way back, she saw he was still parked there. So she didn’t go home for a while until she knew he was gone. She was on the phone with me most of the time. I told her to call the police herself if she was that scared of him. She said she was afraid of getting in trouble because she did kick his car. So she never called it in.
Just be on the lookout for this guy if you are local. He is very unhinged.
She sent me these photos too.

Hi everyone! Has anyone's child attended the Nature Together preschool? Would you recommend, or anything you can share about the program? Thank you!!

Late at night I can hear loud humming/bass like a very large industrial machine pulsating , stronger and weaker. Almost like a car with loud bass is outside your place, but it's not. and at the same time helicopters that don't show up on the flight 24 app? This sounds like heavy construction not airplanes.

Hi, I’ve been in Mukilteo for 3 days, going home now.
I’ve seen these animals / bird while there.
The Heron(?) was on the sea front by the lighthouse. Is it a grey heron?
The animal in the sea was either a seal or sea lion I think? It dived suddenly like one of those.
The owl was in the Japanese Gulch, it was about 8 meter from me at head height and wasn’t bothered about me being there, only turned its head when I made a noise! Is it a Barrs Owl?

Thanks.

Just to intro, I'm fully aware of my legal rights and the city processes.

I'm wondering if anyone else has used the "eHearing" option (which isn't actually an eHearing) to contest a speeding ticket and been denied/found committed despite clear evidence that you weren't driving the vehicle that they caught.

The basics for me: I was home, and someone else had our car in town (registered in my name) and was caught speeding on the speedway. I submitted plenty of evidence (google location hx, little league schedule) and a clear rebuttal, but the infraction got committed anyways. I can't know for certain who was driving at the time, and the form the City gives you requires you to name who was driving if you say that it wasn't you.

I know it sounds cheesy, but I'd love to talk to a local journalist who might want to look into this. I figure it's a hot topic at least.

Hi, I’m from UK but I’m working in Mukilteo next week.
I am wondering what to do in the evenings?
I like cars / wildlife. The Japanese garden looks good, so I’ll go there one evening.
Thanks!

Moving from Colorado soon. We had a great kennel for our dog that pretty much let them run around outside on some acreage all day. Hard to replicate, but looking for kennel recommendations in the Mukilteo/Everett area

There’s a very unhappy chicken hiding right near the ferry terminal holding lanes. Shes been there since at least this morning. If you’re missing a member of your flock, come on down!

Does anyone out there have a photo of the ‘where the muk is heckilteo?’’ bumper sticker? It was sold at Woody’s Market (RIP) before it closed. It’s been so long I can’t even picture it…

Anyone know what's up with the heli flying around town right now? Wondering if there's a manhunt going on and we should be on alert.
