MUKILTEO — The City of Mukilteo is excited to announce the successful annexation of a portion of unincorporated Snohomish County that includes the east side of the Mukilteo Speedway—from the Mukilteo Speedway Café to Beverly Park Road—as well as both sides of 121st Street SW.
The Mukilteo City Council adopted the ordinance finalizing the annexation during its meeting on July 7th, following years of collaborative efforts with Snohomish County and City staff.
“Since returning to office in 2022, one of my continued priorities has been annexing this specific area,” said Mayor Joe Marine. “Many people are surprised to learn that when they dine at, for example, the Mukilteo Speedway Café, they’re actually outside city limits. Given how often our residents visit these businesses and how frequently our emergency services already respond to calls there, it simply makes sense to bring this area officially into Mukilteo.”
The area has long felt like an extension of the community, and this formal annexation ensures that City services, governance, and identity are consistent for both residents and businesses in the area.
“This effort has been a long time coming, and I’m proud to see it come to fruition,” said Mayor Marine. “I want to sincerely thank our partners at Snohomish County, as well as our dedicated staff in Mukilteo, for their diligent work and persistence throughout this process.”
With the annexation now official, the City will begin the next steps of integrating the area into Mukilteo’s service structure and long-term planning efforts.
