As the second largest city in Snohomish County, with a population of roughly 63,000, Marysville offers an array of shopping and business selections.
Sound Harley-Davidson, Seattle Premium Outlets and the nearby Tulalip Casino make Marysville a destination for visitors. At the same time, the charm of the community is not lost to these amenities.
“We still maintain a warm, small-town atmosphere thanks to community events like the Strawberry Festival, annual Easter egg hunt, father-daughter Valentine’s Day dance and our popular Merrysville for the Holidays parade,” said Mayor Jon Nehring.
Earning the nickname, “The Strawberry City,” Marysville was once surrounded by strawberry fields and the sweet fruit is still celebrated every June at the Strawberry Festival and Grand Parade.
Downtown Third Street, with its quaint storefronts, is the perfect locale for a pleasant stroll or bargain hunting. A vast shopping selection is also offered at the Lakewood Crossing and Gateway shopping centers.
Outdoor enthusiasts can access the 17-mile Centennial Trail in town. An abundance of parks and recreational spaces are spread throughout the city, including the Ebey Waterfront Park that offers access to the Snohomish River Delta.
“Marysville has a very diverse collection of neighborhoods and homes, from those centered around young families to those supporting seniors and lifelong city residents,” Nehring said. “We’re fortunate to have a variety of recreational opportunities, shopping choices, health care and support services, and convenient regional transportation options – all within the borders of our city.”
