Dogs, owners can hunt for treats

Discussion of P-patch continues

If you are a Mill Creek resident and are short on yard space, lack adequate sunshine to grow veggies, or simply want to garden in a community atmosphere, city staff want to hear from you.

The city of Mill Creek is currently looking at possible locations for a community garden. The garden site would be divided into individual plots of about 60-square-feet that could be rented annually for an estimated fee of $50. The city is still working out all of the details but would like to have the garden up and running by late spring 2010.

If interested, contact senior planner Camille Chriest at camillec@cityofmillcreek.com or 425-921-5726. No commitment is required.
