Greetings from Marysville, Wash., U.S.A.
"A welcome place to visit, an invitation to stay"
Every direction you turn, Marysville reveals some of the lively big
city attractions you wouldn't expect, with all the small-town values you
would. Come and stay for a day or night, for a week, or for all seasons.
Situated near picturesque mountains, lakes, rivers and the Puget Sound,
Marysville lies on the north crescent of the fertile Snohomish River Delta
in northwestern
Snohomish County, Wash. With a panorama of clear waters of the
Puget Sound to the west and the Cascade Mountains to the east, Marysville,
known to many as "The Strawberry City,"
offers visitors all the conveniences
and opportunities that give the Pacific Northwest its enduring splendor
and vitality.
"Where quality of life is our way
of life" is more than our City's motto -- it's a commitment, and an
ideal we strive to live up to every day, for ourselves and the visitors we
welcome. Whether you're spending a day or staying a lifetime,
Marysville invites you to discover all it has to offer.
Make Marysville your next destination.
...To Play
Discover
the pleasures that Marysville and its
Parks and Recreation offer the active spirit in everyone. The
rolling hillsides of Jennings Memorial/Nature Park provide a great place
to stroll, picnic, play ball or bike ride. The Rotary Ranch Petting Zoo is
a perennial summer favorite among young animal lovers, and Gehl House
Museum turns the clock back to slower times. High rollers with that lucky
feeling can visit the
Tulalip Tribes Casino.
Cedarcrest Golf Course offers an enjoyable day on the greens
beneath canopies of tall cedars, more so since it underwent a
multi-million renovation
in 1997.
Marysville is also a portal to many regional outdoor activities. Peaks
like domineering Mount Pilchuck, Three Fingers, Whitehorse and Glacier
Peak present hikers and climbers with breathtaking vistas of Snohomish
County and Puget Sound.
Local waters accessible by boat launch provide fishing to challenge the
most avid angler, and the Snohomish River Delta system offers boaters,
kayakers and canoers a firsthand view of exotic wetland and aquatic
wildlife. Twin Lakes, Wenberg and Gissberg state parks cater to campers,
boaters and beachcombers.
...To Shop
Experience some of the most rustic,
unhurried charm of Third Street in the downtown district, or visit the
Marysville Towne Centre Mall and thriving service sector that extends in
all directions. Historic Third Street recalls a slower era; sure, the
times have changed, but the friendliness and hospitality haven't. Bargain
hunters will always find that special knick-knack or gift, and the perfect
meal or snack to walk off an
afternoon browse is often just around the corner.
...To Relax
Every step you take, Marysville gives you one more reason to keep
exploring, to play or to shop. But you don't have to spend your visit
always on the move. Comeford Park and the
Ken Baxter Senior Community Center downtown offer a great place
to people-watch. Among area restaurants, enjoy a delicious meal of
seafood, fresh pasta, fine coffees, the best strawberry shortcake and
tallest pies in the region. Pack a picnic, or enjoy
summer music concerts in Jennings Park. Cozy hotels and lodging with easy
I-5 access are available to overnighters, and so are RV hookups.
