Did you know graffiti is considered a public nuisance and is the responsibility of property and business owners to remove graffiti on their property that is visible from roadways, rights-of-way, and other facilities open to the public (Per Mill Creek Municipal Code Chapter 8.10)?

To support this ordinance, the City created its Graffiti Abatement Program to provide Mill Creek property owners options to help deal with damage to their property caused by graffiti or tagging. 

The City has partnered with Lowe's Home Improvement in Mill Creek to provide a DIY option for free clean-up kits for our residents and business owners.
