At last night’s Council meeting, Mayor Stephanie Vignal formally proclaimed June 2026 as LGBTQIA+ Pride Month in the City of Mill Creek. We had a fantastic turnout, including members of the Mill Creek Pride organization, who joined us for this meaningful moment.

The City Council also honored graduating seniors from Jackson, North Creek, and Archbishop Murphy High Schools who serve on the Mill Creek Youth Advisory Board. Each MCYAB member volunteers more than 20-hours every semester to support City and community events and contributes their time and talents to organizations such as the Mill Creek Food Bank.

A heartfelt thank‑you to our 26 graduating seniors for your service and leadership. Congratulations—we’re proud of you!
