Why do business in Marysville?
Look at the advantages....
Marysville is a key player in regional plans to establish a
viable future by fostering an economic climate conducive to
business. Prospective companies need only to look at the
political and economic environment, along with Marysville’s
strategic location and well-trained workforce, to see that
opportunities are evident.
But to succeed, location is only the starting point
The City of Marysville offers corporate citizens all the traits
that a major employer looks for:
Quick, easy freeway access
Most available commercial/light industrial land is located only blocks from
Interstate 5, the major commuter route in the Puget Sound area.
Rail line access
Passenger and freight rail traffic use the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe
north-south route that passes directly through Marysville
Waterway
Port Gardner Bay and the Puget Sound area only minutes away, and the
Port of Everett is the West Coast’s second-largest terminus/marina sharing
water’s edge with Naval Station Everett.
General aviation airports
Arlington Municipal Airport is only minutes north of Marysville; Snohomish
County Airport at Paine Field is 6 miles south, and SeaTac International
Airport is 50 miles south.
Ample water and sewer infrastructure
The City of Marysville provides water and sewer to an expansive service
area, with a customer base of 11,000 homes and businesses. Residential
rates are among the lowest in Western Washington, and commercial rates
are competitively priced in the region.
Regulatory consistency
Marysville’s municipal government recognizes that when a company
becomes a corporate citizen, it should expect consistency in rules and
regulations that apply to the business community. It is rightfully a deciding
factor in any company’s decision to move.
