Happy 101st Birthday to Sherm Mills

Sherm Mills blows out the candles on his birthday cake.

April 5th was the day that Sherm Mills celebrated his 101st birthday. His business was Mills Marina at 17220 Aurora Ave N, the property that Aurora Rents used until the recent Aurora project. He was active in the Shoreline business community in the 1960s.. He is now living at Sunrise of Edmonds.

Sherm's daughter Jan (Ron) Hanson is a long-time Shoreline community volunteer. She says "His memory is better than mine and he has a treasure of history in his head. He remembers Judge Ronald’s home sitting up in the air as Aurora cut through."

Rep Inslee sent a flag that was flown in his honor last year for his 100th; the flag still flies proudly on the Sunrise flagpole at 750 Edmonds Way.
