Scott Harder has proudly called Mill Creek home for 19 years. He and his wife, Alison—a dedicated ICU nurse at Swedish Edmonds for over 26 years—have raised their two daughters here, building deep roots in the community they love.

​

Scott brings over 20 years of experience in public service, communications, and community engagement. For the past four years, he has worked in the public sector, leading strategic communications, public education initiatives, and community outreach. Prior to that, he spent 13 years with Puget Sound Energy, including four years focused on community engagement throughout Snohomish County.
 

​His service to Mill Creek includes time as the City’s Marketing and Communications Program Manager, where he played a key role in rebuilding communications, public trust, and improving transparency during the city’s post-COVID recovery.

​

Scott’s volunteer work with groups like Make-A-Wish, Housing Hope, the Everett School District, and the Alderwood Boys & Girls Club reflects his dedication to youth, families, housing, and public safety.
 

With firsthand knowledge of how Mill Creek’s government functions and how the City Council engages with residents, Scott is ready to serve with transparency and action. He’s running for City Council Position 3 to help create a safer, stronger, and more connected Mill Creek for all residents.
