The City of Mill Creek has teamed up with Heroes' Cafe to host a Giving Tree & Sock Drive at City Hall.

Veteran wish lists include new men's and women's socks, thermal underwear & hoodies in adult sizes M-2XL, winter hats and gloves, and gift cards for essentials like gas and groceries.

Drop by City Hall North (15720 Main St.) or City Hall South (15728 Main St.) to choose a tag, or deliver your donations now at either location through Monday, Dec. 15th.

We'll also be taking donations at both City Hall locations during the Santa Parade & Tree Lighting Ceremony on Saturday, Dec. 6th! For more information, visit our Holidays on Main event page.

Many have been wondering about the changes happening in the plaza at The Jewelry Source in Mill Creek Town Center, and we have an update. Today, our dedicated Public Works Crew, along with the good folks from Cuz Concrete, did a masterful job installing the giant container that will be the temporary home for our new holiday tree. 

The City of Mill Creek has been celebrating a beloved tree lighting ceremony at City Hall for over 30 years! The tree has grown to over 35 feet and sadly, it's showing signs of age, so we'll need to say goodbye to it soon. 

Over the years, we've wished our tree was in a spot where the community could gather more easily for photos, caroling, and festive fun. Now feels like the perfect time for a change!

In the coming weeks, you'll see the box transform, and then on November 20th, a beautiful 14-foot Nordmann fir will be planted. 

Stay tuned for more updates and save the date for the Santa Parade and Tree Lighting Ceremony on Saturday, December 6th. Event info at millcreekwa.gov/events

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Mill Creek Veterans Day Ceremony and Parade yesterday! Both events were extraordinary, and our community, including parade participants, turned out in record numbers to support our United States Veterans and their families. 

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to our Grand Marshal, U.S. Marine Corps Veteran, Bruce McCann, his family and the Cogir team, Chaplain Nick Lewis, Senator John Lovick, Representative April Berg, Mayor Pro Tem Stephanie Vignal, the Mill Creek Chorale, Bugler George Moffat, and the South Snohomish County Honor Guard, and all in attendance especially local Veterans for making the ceremony so special. 

A big thank you to this year's fantastic parade emcee, Stitch Mitchell of KXA/KRKO, and to the teams at L.A. Fitness, Overlake Composite Civil Air Patrol Squadron, the National Guard, Heroes' Café, and Dick's Drive-In for generously providing free meals for our Veterans. We appreciate all of you! 
We also want to sincerely thank our sponsors: JL Remodeling, Mill Creek Sports, Community Transit, Chris Jones – State Farm, Nothing Bundt Cakes, and Starbucks! 

These events would not have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers, especially our wonderful Veterans Day Planning Committee: US Army Veteran Larry Beach, US Air Force Veteran & Heroes' Café Director Gary Walderman, US Army Veteran Kittie LaFazia, and Barb Heidel, our Volunteer Coordinator and Citizens Patrol lead. Special thanks to volunteers from Kiwanis of Mill Creek, the Key Club, our Mill Creek Youth Advisory Board, the DAR, and our parade marshals, Brad Nelson, Brad Asche, Argon Karameti, and Mike Todd for keeping the parade running smoothly. We also appreciate the support of our City Council, and our dedicated City staff!

Finally, thank you to the Mill Creek Police Department, our Public Works Crew, and South County Fire for ensuring the safety of all participants and attendees.
