Living in Mill Creek, WA

A planned city built around green belts, trails and a walkable town center.

Mill Creek was laid out as a planned community, and it still feels like one: green belts between neighborhoods, walking paths, and a town center you can stroll in an evening. It sits between Everett and Bothell, so it works as a base if you commute either way.
