A neighborhood feel in Downtown Marysville

Downtown Marysville, about 35 miles north of Seattle, is situated on the outskirts of Possession Sound and Mount Baker-Snoqualmie Forest. The neighborhood offers comfortable homes, an engaged community and plenty of shopping opportunities. "Marysville is laid back and has a charming neighborhood feel. The people here are kind and care about each other," says Connie Mennie, the communications manager for the city of Marysville.

Marysville Strawberry Festival started in 1932

The Marysville Strawberry Festival has been a city-wide tradition since the year 1932. Washington's longest-running festival, this week-long event features a carnival, a parade and a market for all things strawberry-themed. "Marysville is a fun place to be, and you meet people whose families have lived here for generations," Mennie says. Other events include Merrysville for the Holidays, the Mother-Son Superhero Dance, the Father-Daughter Valentines Dance, the Multi-Cultural Festival and the annual Kids' Fishing Derby. The Parks, Culture and Recreation Department holds cultural events and hosts performances all year at the Marysville Opera House.

Comeford Park, Ebey Waterfront Park

Taking up a couple of blocks amid downtown's retail area, Comeford Park has a community center, playground and picnic areas. Located to the east, Jennings Memorial Park encompasses 30 acres, with the Gehl House Museum, a master garden and a dinosaur-themed playground for children. The Sounds of Summer and children's concert series are held at the park's Lions Pavilion. There are courts for tennis and basketball, and Allen Creek and Kiwanis Pond are popular for fishing. Another spot for fishing, Ebey Waterfront Park also has a boat launch. However, as the local sewage plant is adjacent to the park, some residents have encountered unpleasant smells. Proximity to Possession Sound is a plus since many people in the area enjoy boating and other water-based activities.

I-5 to Seattle, Community Transit buses

Driving on Interstate 5, the trip to Seattle is about 35 miles, and it's about 12 miles farther to Sea-Tac, Seattle–Tacoma International Airport. Those using public transportation take advantage of Community Transit, the city's bus system. Mennie says that Marysville expects to have rabbittransit added in a few years. "It's a bus system that operates more like a train with stops further apart," she says. Providence Regional Medical Center is within 5 miles of Downtown Marysville.
