Street snow routes
During widespread snow and ice conditions, Street personnel focus their removal efforts on the following streets:
- Arterials leading in and out of the City
- Arterials located on hills within City boundaries
- Fire and police access
- All other arterials within City boundaries.
The City's Snow and Anti-Ice Routes Map included within the Control Plan illustrates the priority streets throughout Marysville where anti-ice liquid, plowing, and sand/salt application occur.
The priority routes are determined by considering topography (hills, sharp curves, etc), traffic volumes and special use by police and firefighters.

MPD officers reunite family with stolen U-Haul, recovering box of newbord memories | |
|
A 15' U-Haul Cargo Van was stolen in the early morning hours of Nov. 22 while parked outside of a Marysville hotel. The U-Haul contained all of the family's belongings when it was taken.
Helpful tips and information from the Marysville community led MPD investigators to the U-haul in Granite Falls, reuniting the family with sentimental items.
High-five to Jake Dowd for commenting on an MPD Facebook post with the tip that led to this van.
Kudos to Officer Gwen Morasco for going the extra mile to close this case, and to the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office for assisting in the recovery.
