After several years of action, advocacy, historic house research, tours and more, Kent’s Mill Creek Neighborhood Council is set to make its case for landmark designation for a portion of the historic Mill Creek neighborhood.
The King County Landmarks Commission will review the Mill Creek Historic District’s eligibility as a Kent landmark at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 20, at the Kent Senior Activity Center, 600 E. Smith St. Residents are welcome to attend and to testify on the historic significance of the area.
The district is a well-preserved concentration of houses that reflect the development of Kent during the first half of the 20th Century. If the nomination is approved by the Landmarks Commission, it will be Kent’s first official historic district as well as the first in South King County.
