MARYSVILLE — A brush fire that burned alongside I-5 in Marysville on Tuesday afternoon caused troubles for the evening commute.

Cars heading north were backed up for 13 miles, according to the Washington State Department of Transportation. After the fire was extinguished, an additional half hour was added to the travel time between Everett and Marysville.
