Welcome to MILL CREEK!

We (the Mill Creek blogging team) just made the move from Ballard to Mill Creek - and were crushed to learn there was NO BLOG for our new neighborhood!

How will we know whats happening on the weekends? Events going on on the area? Traffic accidents and crimes that occur? New restaurants and shops that are moving into the area?

So here we are starting our own blog to discuss the happenings going on in the Mill Creek area!

Welcome to the neighborhood!
