Terry laying red carnation at veterns monument in Mill Creek
Mill Creek honored those who died defending our freedoms at
a
Commemorative
Ceremony on Friday, May 26 at the Veteran’s Monument at Library
Park. After the ceremony, red carnations were laid at the base of the
monument.
Monday, the City held a parade through the Town
Center. Thousands of people attended. It was gratifying to see so
many young families waving flags on the sidewalks alongside our Veterans.
Thank you to everyone for coming and to the City of Mill Creek for all their efforts to remember
those who died so that we can live free.

The Community Transit Board
of Directors approved a plan to increase bus service by 6 percent this fall,
including two routes that will serve the Boeing-Paine Field area from south
Snohomish County.
The plan will also improve
transit connections throughout the county, add more weekday trips to Seattle
and UW, and improve Sunday bus service with more frequent buses and later hours
on some routes.
The final plan differs
slightly from a proposal offered to riders in March, based on customer
feedback. All changes will be effective this fall, except for the extension of
late-night Sunday service, which will take effect in March 2018.
For
specific route information, please visit www.communitytransit.org.
There are currently 29 open job opportunities and
internships available at Snohomish County. Job openings are constantly
changing so check back to see new opportunities. Snohomish County is a
great place to work! Visit www.snoco.org.
Community Transit is also hiring. They are currently
looking for Coach Operator trainees, Maintenance Development Instructor,
Contracted Services Coordinator and Journey Mechanics. For more
information, please visit www.communitytransit.org.
Over the last three years, I have attended many community meetings
throughout my district.
Some of these meetings are very specific: Neighborhoods requesting
information regarding pending development or the possibility of slowing traffic
down on their residential streets, I’ve attended Town Hall meetings to provide
information to our residents and homeowner association residents concerned
about impacts of the heroin epidemic in Snohomish County. I’ve had the
opportunity to speak to professional organizations on economic development and
what Snohomish County is doing to help local businesses.
Whatever your concern, if your neighborhood, homeowners
association or professional organization would like to schedule a community
meeting please contact my office at 425-388-3494 and we will set it up. I
always enjoy meeting and helping our residents.
There are many opportunities to volunteer in Snohomish
County. Available openings throughout the County and application
procedures can be found at: https://snohomishcountywa.gov/128/Boards-Commissions.
Vacancies pop up frequently.
Currently I am looking for a resident of my district to serve on
the Human Rights Commission. There are two vacancies on the Historic
Preservation Commission for District 4 residents. We also need volunteers
on the Snohomish County Developmental Disabilities Citizen Advisory Board.
If you can help, please
visit the County web site for an application or contact my office.
