Most of my life has been spent in Snohomish County, thus I’ve had some familiarity with Marysville. Usually it was the Marysville-Pilchuck high-school football team destroying my Meadowdale team (back then we were the Chiefs). Besides a dominant football team in the 1980s, I otherwise thought of them as a place that had a Burger King right off the freeway on the way to Bellingham and Canada. However, a few years ago (2011) I stumbled into a job located up here and I’ve worked in Marysville ever since.
I’ve been amazed by a few key details. Second only to Everett in population, it’s host to a number of interesting events and activities, as well as shopping. I’d never heard of the Strawberry Festival, for instance.
Here’s a page I whipped together for my real estate blog which goes into greater detail. Take a look and let me know what you think. And please point out anything that should be added. Always seeking to make things better.
