The Mill Creek Town Center will lose another core business this summer.

On Tuesday, May 19th, the company announced that they are seeking bankruptcy court permission to begin an “orderly wind-down” of their business by closing all stores and selling all inventory and assets.

Mill Creek Police officers make any number of contacts and respond to numerous calls for service every day.

According to the latest Mill Creek Police Blotter, a total of 419 responses were recorded the week of May 7th to May 14th.

With Memorial Day fast approaching in the backdrop of the prohibition on public gatherings through May 31st, the City of Mill Creek has chosen to use a pre-recorded commemorative ceremony rather than conduct an in-person public ceremony on Monday, May 25th.

The video will stream on the city's Facebook page at the same time as a reverse parade is held on Main Street to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. 

Penny Creek Elementary School students Kylah Milony and Nate Ottem placed in the top three at their grade level for the Snohomish Conservation District's Youth Earth Day Challenge.

Teacher Kirsten Judd’s combined third and fourth grade class was assigned a STEAM project in April to design environmental upgrades to an existing place.

While the General Membership Meetings of the Mill Creek Women’s Club have been suspended, the Club continues to thrive and contribute to its local philanthropies.

In March they were able to donate $1,000 to the local food bank to help alleviate the growing need due to the COVID- 19 pandemic.

At their April 28th meeting the Mill Creek City Council learned that the city’s recent purchase of land meant to be used for park use is not eligible to receive a Snohomish County Conservation Futures grant.

City Manager Michael Ciaravino told the city council that the $2,050,000 purchase has already closed, making it ineligible for the potential grant.
