In 2017, Snohomish County lost over 90 people to an opioid overdose. The tragedy of overdose is far too frequent but is ultimately preventable. Two upcoming events are aimed at providing more awareness and connection to resources in Snohomish County.

The annual Point-in-Time count conducted on January 23rd, surveyed 378 persons in 331 households who were unsheltered at the time of the count. This represented a 27% decrease over the number of unsheltered individuals in the 2017 count.

Mill Creek Police Officers and Snohomish County Search and Rescue volunteers with their trained dogs are searching for human remains after a skull was found in an area near North Creek just north of Mill Creek Town Center on Tuesday, August 14th.

A number of new businesses have opened or are soon to open in Mill Creek’s Gateway Shopping Center. Among them are Sola Salon Studios and Planet Fitness.
