Akash said probably Nov-Dec last I checked + a few weeks to build it all out. City is being a PITA. Sounds like there might be one in Lynnwood somewhere too.

im going to e85 now very soon, hopefully next week I will have my pump tune done and can start the switchover and retune it. I might even be getting a company car now too so won't have to even worry about driving either of my cars daily! (heckle fingers crossed)

update: Spoke to some of u guys! Mill Creek and Lynnwood are going to get E85.
Propell Fuels has approached the city to get approvals. The city has denied the grants until december.
Propel is working on the new plan, WE ARE GETTING E85 NO MATTER WHAT, its just a matter of time.
Quote from Dan Fillet of propel fuels "Regional Manager" "You should expect to see contruction by end of the year or early next year.
JohnnyTSI: I see u driving by doing loops outside of my gas station.
Im trying to work something out with NWTANK to see how much it would cost us if we got E85 by purchasing the tanks by ourself but it costs over 60,000.
Ill keep u guys up to date! Sorry, unfortunately its in propel's hands along with the city of mill creek.
I will do my best to see if they can get it soon, if not ill work with NWTANK to get it on my own.
NO MATTER WHAT IT WILL BE COMING TO MILL CREEK SOON!
I have dan fillets number, if you guys want to personally ask whats taking so long contact me and i can foward you his email or number.
I will post up their plan sheet for u guys to look at too!

similar to moving the mouse in a circular fashion to speed up the processing power on an Intel or AMD-based instruction set (PowerPC and ARM need not apply, and only us old IT folks know the procedure properly), John was hoping he could get things moving faster if he ran a couple hot-loops around the station.

Just joined here cause of this thread. I run E85 in my supra and have been going to Snoqualmie from Kirkland. So before I left today to get some, I called every Shell up in mill Creek and Bothell. Nobody knew anything about E85 coming. The one at Thrasher Corner is where I used to get race gas, and talked to the owner. He said he has been getting lots of calls about E85 and he said there is no way he was ever getting it. Can someone be specific as to which Shell is going to get it? So I can call and keep up with it. This is great if it is going to be coming there. Hell of a lot closer to me anyways.

I'll probably never make the switch to E85, not enough stations have it and after the problems people are having with the dreaded goo it leaves behind, I think I'll pass.

definitely the "Smokey Point" exit (#206 I believe), but is it really considered a city? 
*edit - interesting thread, Tim. I hadn't heard of anyone in the NW running ethanol with this issue that I can think of. So unless it is SOP to clean off the injectors and no one is talking about it, it must not be as much of an issue here? Anyone with input?
