Thanks to two grants from the Snohomish County Historic Preservation
Commission Community Heritage Program, the Art & Beautification
Board identified five key themes to incorporate into a visual history of Mill Creek called the Historical Preservation Project.
The interpretive panels outline the City's history from before incorporation in 1983 through 2019 and include the following:
- Living Off the Land: A look at the area before development.
- From Farms to a Planned Community: Showcases early settlers and the development of a planned community.
- The Big Decision: Centers on the decision to incorporate.
- A Place Called Home: Shares how the City became home with schools, shopping areas and other amenities.
- Community Beyond Our Boundaries: Showcases what truly makes Mill Creek a community.
The Panels are located on the Main Street Bridge in Mill Creek Town Center.
