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 features driving Marysville's emergence as a vigorous employment center.
As a full-service city responsive to its citizens, Marysville takes care of its needs for today while building a better tomorrow, and is well-prepared for the changes ahead that affect our citizens and the region. The city offers its residents and businesses extensive police and fire protection and its own Enhanced 911 Dispatch Communications Center; a city-run jail; water and sewer availability at competitive rates; city-operated garbage pickup; an expansive library; numerous recreational programs; and acres of lush, green parks to enjoy. Marysville has demonstrated its commitment to a healthy infrastructure through major public improvements, crucial to the vitality of a community.
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 87 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 second home. Marysville also manages a 30-acre wildlife habitat in the Sunnyside area that will remain a passive park for education and aesthetic purposes. With an eye toward the future, the city owns 71 acres north of Marysville for a major athletic complex complete with ball fields, walking trails, picnic areas, restrooms and other amenities, and 5.4 acres fronting Ebey Slough in the Snohomish River Delta that will provide a public boat launch and a waterfront park that plays prominently in plans to revitalize the downtown business district.
The city shares a commitment to community policing, an effort to reach beyond the crime workload generated by 10 percent of the population to serve the 90 percent of our citizens who represent the backbone of our community. Higher visibility, purchase of an Incident Command Vehicle, Marysville Bike Patrol, business checks and getting out of cars to meet the public are bringing officers together with the community members they serve and protect. Other public safety services and crime prevention programs are administered through a unique, nationally-recognized all volunteer program, Marysville Seniors Against Crime (MSAC). Volunteers provide free vacation home checks, organize Neighborhood Block Watches, and numerous other programs that support residents and businesses alike.
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.
