Business Licensing Service links Mill Creek to Snohomish County cities

OLYMPIA, Wash. – May 14, 2020 – The Department of Revenue’s Business Licensing Service today adds another Snohomish County city, Mill Creek, to its fast-growing list of local partners.

Mill Creek is connecting hundreds of local businesses to the same service used in Lynnwood, Mountlake Terrace and other neighbor communities to make applying for and renewing licenses faster and more convenient.

BLS, the state’s online portal used for reporting state taxes, supports about 600 different types of regulatory licenses among dozens of state agency programs and more than 130 Washington municipalities.

A list of partner cities is listed on the city license endorsements page.
