Mill Creek: Planners to discuss new project

The plan for a Town Center-style development in the northeast corner of the city is scheduled to be discussed this week by the Mill Creek Planning Commission.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday at City Hall at 15728 Main St.

The East Gateway urban Village could be built on 50 acres south of 132nd Street SE between 35th Avenue and Seattle Hill Road. The city must first amend its comprehensive plan to allow a mixed-use development to be built in that area.

People weighed in on the city’s plan for a new urban center during an open house earlier this month. On Thursday, the Planning Commission is expected to address several comments made at the open house.

Planning commissioners may also address other zoning changes that could make the project possible.

The new urban center would likely include a mixture of shops, office space, townhomes, parks and other amenities.

The East County Senior Center is set to hold its annual fundraising Gala Auction at 5 p.m. Saturday at Echo Falls Golf and Country Club, 20414 121st Ave. SE, Snohomish. Tickets are $50 per person and include dinner.

Over 300 items were auctioned last year, including a one-week cruise, golf vacations with preferred tee times, landscaping materials and service, and select pieces from local artists. For the 2007 auction, the center already has acquired an African safari, seven days at a Wapato resort, trap shooting lessons and golf opportunities.

The auction is the center’s primary fundraiser for the year to help serve its 900 members and their guests.
