What makes signs and wraps different in Mill Creek?

Mill Creek is a master-planned community that started in the 1970s and incorporated in 1983, and its sign code reflects that. Every permanent sign needs a sign permit and Design Review Board approval, apart from a few exceptions such as wall signs that meet the design criteria. A-board signs are prohibited for businesses. Wall signs are capped at 15% of storefront area, and monument signs are small and low. For Town Center's 80+ shops and the offices along SR-527, sign work starts with the code, then the design.

Ardor Printing has been designing, printing and installing signs and wraps since 2012, with 25,000+ projects completed. Our Snohomish shop is about 29 minutes from Town Center via Seattle Hill Rd and the Bothell-Everett Highway. Looking for a sign company in Mill Creek or a wrap shop near Mill Creek? We offer free on-site estimates for signs, walls and windows, plus pick-up and delivery for vehicle wraps in Mill Creek, WA.

  • No permanent sign may be installed or changed without a sign permit and Design Review Board approval. Exceptions include residential ID signs, temporary and political signs, directional signs, and wall signs that meet the design criteria (MCMC 17.26.010). Temporary signs need a temporary sign permit.
  • A-board signs are prohibited except for real-estate uses (MCMC 17.26.020(D)(8)). The allowed alternative is a post-style commercial sign: max 4 ft tall and 2 x 2 ft, in a black wrought-iron/metal frame on a portable base, one per business, business hours only, with a temporary permit.
  • Wall signs: max 15% of storefront surface area (12 ft x lineal frontage), capped at 50 sq ft for tenants under 12,000 sq ft and 300 sq ft for larger tenants (17.26.030). Blade signs: one per business in commercial zones, max 3 sq ft, 8 ft clearance; a building permit is required (17.26.035).
  • Monument signs: 50 sq ft and 4'6" tall (6'6" if raised) for commercial centers over 1 acre; 34 sq ft and 42 in for business/industrial parks; 16 sq ft and 42 in for commercial sites with 80+ ft of arterial frontage (17.26.020(E)).
  • A banner is allowed once per year for established businesses, max 3 x 12 ft, for 45 days. New businesses get a 60-day banner plus two 4 sq ft opening signs for 30 days (17.26.080).
  • Also prohibited: reader boards (except institutional), signs on trailers, exposed braces, flashing lights, balloons and inflatables, and most off-site signs.

Signs on business vehicles: Mill Creek prohibits business signs over 2 sq ft on a vehicle or trailer parked where it is visible from a collector or arterial street, but the rule does not apply to a vehicle or trailer 'operating during the normal course of business' (MCMC 17.26.020(D)(7)). A wrapped work van on its daily routes is fine; a wrapped vehicle or trailer parked mainly as a billboard where it is visible from an arterial is not.
