Open Integrated WSL terminal at specific directory with VSCode Task - visual-studio-code

Question

I'm working with VSCode Tasks and my goal is to simply open a set of integrated WSL terminals and navigate each to a specified directory when the workspace launches.
I'm using the workspace's tasks object and currently can launch WSL terminals, but can't seem to specify the directory.
Below is my current configuration. It launches my wsl terminals no problem, but with cwd does not correctly map. When using cmd.exe instead of wsl, it works fine.
"tasks": {
"version": "2.0.0",
"tasks": [
//Worker Task to Open Each Terminal.
{
"label": "Create terminals",
"dependsOn": [
"WSL_Terminal_1",
"WSL_Terminal_2",...
],
"group": {
"kind": "build",
"isDefault": true
},
//Run When Workspace Opens.
"runOptions": {
"runOn": "folderOpen"
}
},
//Single Terminal Task.
{
"label": "WSL_Terminal_1",
"type": "shell",
"command": "",
"options": {
"cwd":"/mnt/c/my/working/dir",
"shell": {
"executable": "C:\\...\\ubuntu2004.exe",
}
},
"icon": {"color": "terminal.ansiMagenta", "id": "terminal-linux" },
"isBackground": true,
"problemMatcher": [],
"presentation": {
"echo": false,
"focus": false,
"reveal": "always",
"panel": "new",
}
},
...
I've tried some combination of args with no success
//tested 1
"shell": {
"executable": "C:\\...\\ubuntu2004.exe",
"args": ["-c 'cd /mnt/c/my/working/dir'"],
}
//tested 2
"shell": {
"executable": "C:\\...\\ubuntu2004.exe",
"args": ["-c",
"cd /mnt/c/my/working/dir"
],
}
I tried several versions of cwd as well with no positive results
//Throws Error on running task
"cwd":"/mnt/c/my/working/dir"
//No error but WSL terminal still opens at /home/user
"cwd":"C:\\my\\working\\dir"
//Linux Side Paths also not working
"cwd":"/home/user/test_dir"
"cwd":"test_dir"
