Marysville is a city in Snohomish County, in the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro area.
As an economic center, Marysville is well-positioned, and possesses the traits that major employers expect. It offers easy access to I-5, a rail line, waterway, ample infrastructure with its water and sewer service, general aviation airports mere minutes away, strategic location along the northernmost tip of the high technology corridor with available commercial and light industrial-zoned property, a highly-trained and educated workforce, and regulatory consistency. These are the key advantages driving Marysville's "economy of opportunity" and our emergence as a vigorous employment center.
Our parks and recreation system benefits our environment, adds to the physical and mental well-being of our citizens, and makes our community and neighborhoods a better place to live. Marysville offers 389 acres of parks, anchored by the centerpiece of the system, 50-acre Jennings Memorial Park and Jennings Nature Park. Comeford Park downtown is centrally located, and is home to the Ken Baxter Senior/Community Center that opened in 1997 – seniors like to call it their home away from home. Marysville also manages a 30-acre wildlife habitat in the Sunnyside area, Deering Wildflower Acres, that will remain a passive park for education and aesthetic purposes. With an eye toward the future, the city opened its first phase of the Strawberry Fields Athletic Complex, 71 acres north of Marysville. Opened in March 2005, Strawberry Fields includes three lighted soccer fields, walking trails, picnic areas, public restrooms and other amenities.
Education is a priority in the Marysville area. Often is the case that when you ask parents why they chose Marysville to raise a family, the area's schools are a common reply. Marysville's nearness to recreational activities is another factor that adds to the wonderful quality of life our community enjoys. Whether your preference is salt or fresh water fishing, boating, golfing, hiking or snow skiing in nearby Pilchuck National Forest, your favorite activity should start and end in Marysville.
