What's happening in Marysville

The Ebey Waterfront Trail is expanding!

We expect to begin construction Sept. 9 on the next phase of the Ebey Waterfront Trail expansion. The first half of this project will pave a path on top of the levee that connects to 61st Street NE, a lighted crosswalk and an interpretive sign about the importance of the Qwuloolt Estuary to our area. This work should be complete by the end of this year.

In summer 2026, we plan to build a trail head parking lot at 61st St NE and connect the trail to Sunnyside Blvd and the 1st St Bypass, bringing the trail's overall distance to 5.78 miles.

Celebrating community, one wrap at a time

As you drive around town you might see the city’s new utility cabinet wraps that were recently installed at four intersections. This durable, functional artwork adds beauty and a nod to city history to otherwise utilitarian structures. These add to the first round of wraps introduced last fall. Take a look:

169th Place NE & 27th Avenue NE

At this busy commercial intersection, the wrap featuring lakes, birds and trails highlights the natural assets of the Lakewood area.

Sunnyside Blvd & 52nd Street NE

The city’s newest traffic signal cabinet is wrapped in imagery honoring the agricultural history of the Sunnyside area.

SR 528 and 87th Avenue NE

At a prime eastern entrance to Marysville, an image depicting forest, flowers and walking paths peek at what Marysville has to offer.

State Avenue & 80th Street NE

At this heavily traveled downtown intersection, a beautiful collage of local flora and fauna greets pedestrians and motorists alike. 

Remembering 9/11

Marysville Fire District, Marysville Professional Firefighters/IAFF Local 3219, the Marysville Police Department and the City of Marysville will hold a public ceremony marking 23 years since the devastating Sept. 11 attacks.

The remembrance ceremony will take place at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11, in the Delta Plaza outside the Marysville Civic Center, 501 Delta Ave. This service will honor the nearly 3,000 people who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, including 343 firefighters and 72 law enforcement officers. In addition, the Marysville Fire District lost Lt. Jeff Thornton, who died that same day after a valiantly fought battle with cancer. The ceremony will include remarks from Mayor Jon Nehring and a presentation by Marysville Fire District’s prestigious Honor Guard.

A recording of the ceremony will be made available afterward.

Get in the driver seat of community big rigs

Honk the horns, set off sirens and kick the tires of a variety of big rigs at Touch-A-Truck on Saturday, Sept. 14. Explore Asbery Field (1605 7th St NE) for everything from police cars to fire engines to construction trucks and more, 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. No horns from 12-1 p.m. and free train rides for families throughout the event. More info on our website.

Do you wonder about new construction in your neighborhood? Have questions about the city but don’t know who to ask? City staff will be at Touch-A-Truck and would love to talk and answer questions!

Help shape Marysville's future

We're completing the update to our Comprehensive Plan for 2024 and request your input on three important elements: Land Use, Public Services and Utilities.

• The Land Use Element largely shapes the city’s pattern of growth, quality of development and desired character by determining what may be built and where.
• The Public Services Element provides an overview and details future needs of public services such as police protection, fire prevention and suppression, emergency medical services, education, library services and human services.
• The Utilities Element discusses existing water, sewer, stormwater, telecommunications, natural gas, electricity and other utilities along with future needs.

We welcome your feedback on the draft Land Use, Public Services and Utilities Elements, which are available for review on our Comprehensive Plan update webpage under the ‘Project History’ tab. Feedback can be submitted via email to marysville2044@marysvillewa.gov.

Go paperless with your utility bill

As more of our activities shift online, consider switching to paperless utility billing. As a customer you’ll benefit from convenient payment and bill management. And by signing up for auto-pay, you’ll gain even more peace of mind and have one less task to do each month.

Sign up for paperless billing today:

1. Go to www.marysvillewa.gov.
2. Click on the Pay Bill icon to open the Pay Bill page.
3. Log in to your account and click on the Paperless tab.
4. Check the Check for Notification box to start receiving your utility bills electronically.
5. If you have multiple utility accounts, click the check boxes for each account you want paperless.

When you make the switch, you’re also helping the city increase efficiency, conserve material resources, and reduce printing and mailing costs. If 50% of our utility customers opted for paperless billing, the city would save more than $23,000 in postage annually.  

Only rain down the drain

Washing your car at home can be bad for the environment due to the soaps that go down the storm drain, which flow into waterways like the Ebey Slough. Instead of washing at home, we recommend taking your car to a commercial car wash where the soap is captured in a sewer system. Watch this short video to learn more:

If you can’t make it to the car wash, move your car to a grassy or gravel area instead when you wash at home. The topsoil will act as a screening filter for soap and pollutants. For more info and eco-friendly alternatives, visit www.marysvillewa.gov/carwash.
