The city of Marysville has a population of approximately 69,000 people. Based on the Snohomish County
Tomorrow 2016 Growth Monitoring Report, Marysville is expected to experience a 16 percent growth in
population change over the next 15 years (Snohomish County 2017).
Local industrial payrolls and agricultural activities provide a portion of the area's economic base, which is
supplemented by "commuter payrolls" in Everett. Planners classify Marysville as a service-oriented
community with no major industry of its own. Therefore, the economy of Marysville is highly influenced
by the industry of the su rrounding area, the most significant of which is the Boeing Company's
manufacturing facilities in Everett.
1.2.2 Development and Trends
The city, incorporated in 1891, has experienced continued growth from businesses and individuals drawn
to the area by the availability of buildable property and accessibility to water and sewer services. For these
reasons, and because of its proximity to the population centers of Everett and Seattle, continued growth
is expected. The city and the immediate area are primarily suburban and rural-residential, with supporting
retail and commercial enterprises. Light industrial and manufacturing businesses are located in the north
and south portions of the city, with vacant property in the north end emerging as a key location for
economic development plans to attract light-industrial companies.
Over the years, the greater Marysville area has realized an increase in commercial and industrial growth
along the Interstate 5 corridor in central Marysville and north of the city, in the Smokey Point region.
Many of these commercial facilities are oriented toward the automobile-driving public. Residential
development has increased in 2013 and 2014 due to the improving economy. The City adopted a
Downtown Master Plan and Smokey Point Master Plan and t he focus will be on mixed uses, affordable
housing, and commercial/industrial uses leading to local job creation and security.

PART 4 -Jurisdictional Annexes I City of Marysville
Local Description of Exposure and Vulnerability
The City of Marysville is exposed to a medium level of
probability concerning the threa t of Active Assailants.
However, the outcome of any one event will be catastrophic
to the City.
Marysville has 21 schools, which are exposed to the threat of
an active assailant attack. The outcome of such an event
would be catastrophic for the school involved with minimal
impacts to the rest of the school district's properties.
The City also has approx. 20 governmental buildings, multiple
shopping areas, and development centers, w hich are exposed
to the medium threat of an active assailant event, based on
probability.
An Act ive Assailant event exposes the residents, businesses
and property of the City to a medium level of risk based on
probability, yet a high level of risk based on severity of event.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a low level of probability
concerning the threat of an Aircraft incident. Marysville does
not have an airport. The closest airport is in Arlington as is the
medical facility, which could have aircraft flying to and from
it. Therefore, the residents, businesses and properties are
only exposed to a low level of risk of an aircraft incident.
The City of Marysvi lle is exposed to a medium level of
probability concerning the threat of a cyber-security incident.
Of the critical facilities are exposed to the threat of a cyber-
security incident. This type of incident, if contained could still
do damage to the governmental systems and
com munications.
If an attack was more broadly directed at City resources, all
critical facilities listed in the plan can experience a
cyberattack. it could impact Communications, Dams and
secondary waterways, Fire/Police/Emergency Medical
Services, Medical services provided in the City, Marysville
Schools District (especia lly with the dependence on online
schooling), the Wastewater Facilities, and Water Storage.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a low level of probability
concerning the threat caused by a dam failure. This threat is
mitigated by the distance of the nearest dam. A breach of
the Culmback Dam could affect the residents in Marysville. A
breach could significantly stress the public Works operations
of City government and water systems.
In addition, there would be limited residential property
impacts along the waterway.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a medium level of
probability concerning the threat of an earthquake, however,
the vulnerability to such an event is exceptionally high. With

Local Description of Exposure and Vulnerability
20% of the downtown area consisting of unreinforced
masonry, many of the City's structures are vulnerable to
destruction or collapse during an earthquake. The damage to
or destruction of critical structures like bridges and culverts
would severely impact transportation routes. Residents,
businesses and property would be further impacted by debris
and utility interruptions, leaving all exposed to the hazards an
earthquake would pose.
The South Whidbey Fault Scenario demonstrates that
Marysville will experience very strong to severe to violent
shaking during an earthquake on that fault. According to the
DNR, these three levels of shaking will result in the following:
Very Strong-Difficult to stand. Furniture broken. Damage
negligible in buildings of good design & const ruction; slight-
moderate in other well-bu ilt structures; considerable in
poorly built/badly designed structures. Some chimneys
broken.
Destructive {Severe)-Damage slight in specially designed
structures; considerable in ordinary su bstantial buildings
(partial collapse); great in poorly built structures. Fall of
chimneys, factory stacks, columns, walls. Heavy furniture
moved.
Violent -General panic; damage consi derable in specially
designed structures; well-designed frame structures thrown
out of plumb. Damage great in substantial buildings: partial
collapse. Buildings shifted off foundations.
This fault scenario exposes the residents, businesses,
government and properties to a high risk of threat during this
type of event.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a high level of probability
concerning the threat of an epidemic. The ent ire City of
Marysville is exposed to a high probability of epidemic threat.
Daily analysis of COVID-19 demonstrates t he potential of
great risk to the City's economy.
Further, t here is a great risk to the financial health and well-
being of the residents. An epidemic of this sca le ha s also
caused fatalities in our City. An epidemic with a significant
fatality risk exposes the entire populace to the threat of
severe illness and death.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a high level of probability
co ncerning the threat of flooding. The threat is greatest
between November and February. A significant event would
inundate the entire Public Works site; completely flooding
the Community Development, Engineering, Fleet/Custodial.
Parks Maintenance, Operations, Sanitation, Sewer and Storm
Water, and Streets Divisions.

Local Description of Exposure and Vulnerability
Further, a significant flood event could flood the Waste Water
Treatment Plant, causing all ponds to overflow into the
nearby sloughs.
The risk of a flood event is high. The impacts would be the
sa me as severe or extreme weather events.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a high level of probability
concerning the threat of a hazardous Materials event. The
chief concern is the railway, which runs north to south
through the City. This is compounded by the Interstate, which
also carries ha zardous materials all hours of the day. These
factors expose the residents and property of the City to a high
risk of exposure to such an event.
Agencies such as the Washington State Emergency
Management Division, Department of Ecology, Washington
State Patrol and, most importantly, local HazMat response
organizations; all contribute significantly from initial
notification, to spills or em issions response, to incident
command and to actual on-scene response.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a medium level of
probability concerning the threa t of mass earth movement
(la ndslides and mudslides). Residents on the eastside of the
City are exposed to the greatest risk of mass land movement.
The greatest exposure to risk occurs between the months of
January into spring after the water table has risen during the
wet months of November and December. Human influences,
including development activity and removing vegetation,
factor into more than 80 percent of reported slides, according
to experts.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a moderate level of
probability concerning the threat of tsunami.
Both the DNR and University of Washington have Marysville
experiencing a tsunami event following an earthquake
scenario on the Seattle fault. The presumption about
tsunami threat and the exposure of this threat to the
residents and property of Marysville is that the threat is
actually much greater during a South Whidbey Island Fault
event. There is limited research currently on the t su nami
threat regarding the SWIF scenario.
Minimal residents would have exposure to tsunami threat
under the Seattle Fault scenario. In that scenario, the Water
Treatment plant and Public Works Facility may be affected,
but only slightly.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a high level of probability
concerning the threat of a volcanic event. The greatest
exposure of risk to residents, businesses and property will

come from ash in the air and its impacts. The City of
Marysville is less than 50 miles from Glacier Peak. Glacier
Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in Washington State.
The secondary impacts would come from health impacts,
commercial and business slowdowns secondary to people
sheltering in place, increased demand on the health care
system and emergency medical services.
There is no exposure to risk of lahar for the City.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a high level of probability
concerning the threat of severe weather events. Flooding
exposes the residents, business and property in the City to
the highest level of risk secondary to the prevalence of annual
flooding in the City (see flooding, above).
Further, the City is exposed to the potential of snow and ice
storms. Such storms expose the residents, businesses and
property to a high level of risk.
The City is vulnerable to drought and extreme heat events.
These events pose a high level of risk to the health and well-
being of the residents of the City. Secondary impacts of
drought and extreme heat events can include brush fires, and
urban interface fires.
The City of Marysville is exposed to a low level of probability
concerning the threat of wildfire. However the City is
vulnerable to the risk of brush fires and human caused fires
(secondary to fireworks) during drought, and extreme heat
events.
The City's exposure to air pollutants and smoke secondary to
wildfire is medium based on the occurrence of smoke events
in the City over the last few years. These events expose the
residents to a medium level of risk of smoke and secondary
hea lth impacts.
