Marysville is a city of about 70,000 people in Snohomish County, Washington, just north of Everett and about 35 miles north of Seattle. It began as a trading post on Ebey Slough near the Tulalip Reservation in the 1870s and grew as a logging and farming town known for its strawberries, a heritage still celebrated every June.
The Marysville Strawberry Festival, held since the 1930s, brings a grand parade, carnival and community events. Jennings Memorial Park offers ponds, gardens and a historic barn, Comeford Park has the town's landmark water tower, and Ebey Waterfront Park opens onto the slough for walking and boat launching.
Next door on Tulalip land are the Hibulb Cultural Center, which shares the history and living culture of the Tulalip Tribes, and Quil Ceda Village with the Tulalip Resort Casino and Seattle Premium Outlets. Marysville is also a handy stop on the way to the Skagit Valley tulip fields, Whidbey Island and the North Cascades.
A beloved hometown festival held each June since the 1930s, with a grand evening parade of floats and bands, a carnival, a car show, a market and community events. It celebrates Marysville's history of strawberry farming. Bring chairs early to claim a parade spot, and try a strawberry shortcake.
Marysville's central park, with ponds, walking paths, a playground, picnic shelters, gardens and a historic barn, plus the adjoining Jennings Nature Park with wetlands. It hosts summer concerts and events. Pack a picnic for the shelters, then walk the nature trail to look for ducks and herons.
A small downtown park with Marysville's historic water tower, a spray park for children, a playground and picnic tables. It is a handy break while exploring the shops and cafes nearby. The water tower makes a good photo, and the spray park is busy on warm summer afternoons with local families.
A park on Ebey Slough near downtown with a boat launch, a waterfront walkway, picnic areas and views of the tidal sloughs and farmland. It is a quiet place to launch a kayak or watch birds. Check the tides before paddling, as water levels change a lot, and bring binoculars for eagles and herons.
A paved multi-use trail built on an old railroad line running about 30 miles north and south through Snohomish County, passing farms, forests and small towns east of Marysville. It is great for cycling, walking and horse riding. Pick up the trail at one of the trailheads with parking and restrooms.
A museum and natural history preserve of the Tulalip Tribes, just west of Marysville, with exhibits on Coast Salish culture, canoes, carving, weaving and the Treaty of Point Elliott. A longhouse and trails surround the building. Plan at least two hours, and check the calendar for cultural programs.
A large resort casino run by the Tulalip Tribes beside Interstate 5, with a hotel, spa, many restaurants, a concert amphitheater and gaming floors. It hosts big-name summer concerts. Guests must be 21 or older for the casino, and the restaurants and spa are open to all ages.
A city-owned 18-hole golf course in Marysville with rolling, tree-lined fairways, a practice area and a clubhouse restaurant. It is well regarded for an affordable public course. Book tee times online, and expect soggy fairways in the rainy months from late fall into spring.
An open-air outlet mall in Quil Ceda Village with more than 100 brand-name stores, a food court and covered walkways. It is a popular stop for travelers on Interstate 5 between Seattle and Vancouver. Weekdays are quieter, and the outlets often add extra sales around holidays.
