• 153rd Street SE will be blocked to through-traffic at about 10:45 a.m. and will reopen after the parade goes by.
• From Mill Creek Blvd, traffic can turn north on Main Street, but will be diverted to an access road south of Run 26.
• Finally, the north LA Fitness parking lot will close at 6 a.m. for parade staging; patrons can park in the south lot, but are advised that once the parade starts, access in and out will be temporarily stopped.
• Consider taking the Swift Green Line to Mill Creek Town Center! Exit at the 153rd Street SE station along the Bothell Everett Hwy (SR 527), and walk one block west into the heart of Mill Creek Town Center.
