Anti-mask rally again descends on Mill Creek

Dozens of people gathered near a grocery store on Main Street to protest the state’s restrictions.

MILL CREEK — A rally Sunday purportedly in protest of the state’s public health guidelines and restrictions on gatherings drew dozens outside of a grocery store in Mill Creek.

For at least the second consecutive week such a demonstration occurred near 15600 Main St., amid record numbers of COVID-19 infections in Snohomish County and across Washington. Photos and video from the location show several people wore attire associated with white nationalist groups.
