earlier days. Over the past decade, and continuing today, large residential, commercial, and
industrial growth has transformed this city. With a 2010 estimated population of 60,020, Marysville

miles of it is water.
There are 11 neighborhoods within the city of Mary~iIIe. They are Downtown, East Sunnyside,

ECONOMICS
For much of its existence, Marysville was a rural area known for farming and for lumber production,
although other, smaller industries existed, providing a diverse economy that has played an
important role in Marysville's growth over the years. This economic diversity has also been a major
factor during times of economic crisis such as the Great Depression, when Marysville's economy did
not suffer to the same extent as other towns in the area, which had largely been dependent on the
timber trade and mining.
Although farms still operate in the area around the city, the lumber industry has all but ceased and
is no longer a major factor in the local economy. The community has largely transitioned over the
past two decades into a city with a large retail and service-based economy, and is closely
intertwined economically with its neighbors throughout the Puget Sound area through large
regional employers such as Boeing and Microsoft. The naval station in nearby Everett and its
support facilities also play an increasing role in the local economy.
Newer shopping places in the area include the Seattle Premium Outlets, located within the City of
Tulalip, on the west side of 1-5. A new shopping center is near there including a Kohl's and Ross.
There is also a WinCo grocery store in that shopping center. .
Events
Marysviile holds an annual Strawberry Festival in the Third week of June, which is highlighted by a
grand parade. The first Strawberry Festival was held in 1932.
Summer Jubilee is an August event that offers free school supplies and haircuts for children in the
community, typically drawing over 10,000 visitors to its Asbery Field location. Summer Jubilee is a
ministry of several Christian churches within Marysville.
Merrysville for the Holidays Winter Celebration is usually heldthe first Saturday in December in
downtown Comeford Park. The annual celebration help~ the Citizens of Marysville get into the
holiday spirit as they step into a winter wonderland of fun, food and music ..
Homegrown Festival is an annual marketplace and street fair on downtown Third Street sponsored
by the Marysville Downtown Merchants Association. The fair showcases local produce, artisans,
musicians and artistes displaying their works and demonstrating their craft.

effects of major hazards both natural and technological. The close prOXimity of the City of
Marysville to Interstate 5 and the City of Everett/Snohomish County increases our
vulner(lbility to technological emergencies/disasters. .
2. A major earthquake may hamper response by damaging bridges, overpasses, roadways,
transportation facilities, communications systems, and public safety facilities.
3. Other disaster agents could damage various lifelines and thus reduce the effectiveness of
an emergency response. See the Snohomish County Hazard Identification and Vulnerability
Analysis (HIVA) developed by the County Department of Emergency Management (DIM),
for a more detailed description of the city's demographics and geography.
4. This municipality has the responsibility to respond and direct operations to disasters within
their borders.

terminals, communication systems, and utilities (water, power, waste) may hinder
emergency response capabilities, as well impact normal distribution of public/private
resources (food, fuel, water, etc.).

incident damage and/or loss of staff.
14. Emergency medical facilities may be overloaded and a shortage of medical service
proViders and supplies may exist.
