Thank you, Mill Creek community! After smoke from regional wildfires forced us to postpone National Night Out earlier this month, our Mill Creek Police Department rescheduled the celebration at Buffalo Park for Tuesday, August 18 and it turned into a fantastic evening!
Highlights from the night included:
• Officer Sanchez hosting bilingual English/Spanish story time
• Officer Scot LaRose clocking a baseball well over the speed limit with the lidar
• Line dancing led by Citizen Patrol Lead, Barb Heidel
• A drone presentation from Officer Kosta Cooper
• Bocce Ball with pro level tips from Detective Sergeant Rod Fleming
A huge thank you to all our partners, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees who helped make the night special. We’re grateful to: South County Fire, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife Police, the Kiwanis Club of Mill Creek & Key Club members for sharing their always popular kindness wall and keeping everyone cool with ice cold water, ADT Security, AT&T, Nothing Bundt Cakes, 7-Eleven, the City of Mill Creek Youth Advisory Board, and our wonderful emcee Jane Neff.
We also appreciate our vendors who joined us on the rescheduled date: the Cub Scouts, Girl Scouts of Western Washington, Mill Creek Library, Snohomish County DEM, Snohomish County LEAD, and Yay Big Yay High Yay Ice Cream WA.
We’re already looking forward to next year as we continue celebrating and strengthening public safety in Mill Creek.
