Wikipedia is not really the place to publicize the opening of stores. I will temporarily move such events into their own section for comment but, most likely, they will be deleted. If you want to publicize your store, buy an ad somewhere rewinn 00:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
In the education section, there's a link to Marysville School District, but that is just a self-redirect to this page's education section. We might remove the link, but an editor on the school district page a while ago suggested making it into a stand-alone article, so I don't know. 71.231.76.242 ( talk) 20:17, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
I notice that this article says nothing about all the tweakers and dopeheads around here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.231.130.113 ( talk) 02:38, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
This is not a "gondola" (a boat) but better described as a gazebo. Parkwells ( talk) 14:38, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
Bruce: great improvement and expansion. This issue I'm sure is a relic of the expansion and a bit more smoothing is needed. You or another ed. may want to consider the proliferation of links described below. I know we can IAR and re-link terms in a detailed section when they were first mentioned way up in the lede, and some in the list below are in captions/infobox which is OK, but this may be a bit overboard.
I'm not just ripping these out wholesale because as primary author I thought you'd want the choice of which to leave in. Cheers - Brianhe ( talk) 20:32, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
This article is a good potential showcase for a discussion of the relationship of a rapidly growing urban area and the former rural character of Western Washington, and in particular the role the state's Growth Managment Act (GMA) has to play. Here are some suggested sources for expansion.
I may be able to return to start this but I thought that sharing the sources could get the ball rolling if another editor wants to take it on. - Brianhe ( talk) 20:54, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
I don't have time to do a full review for good article, but there are some important issues with the text. For example:
"As the second-largest city after Everett," .... do you mean in a particular county? Because I'm pretty sure Spokane is the second largest city in Washington state. But then, you end the sentence by talking about the whole state again "; as of 2015, Marysville is the fastest-growing city in Washington state". There are two ideas here in one sentence, so this is very confusing. Randomly further down, you write "Marysville's population was historically limited to below 2,000 residents" ... what does this mean? Need some specific dates for this to make sense. Sorry this is just a drive by, but those are 2 easy fixes. Mattximus ( talk) 16:59, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

First off, I want to congratulate SounderBruce on the article in the Herald; he's certainly part of an exclusive club now! That said, with it mentioning Marysville and knowing that both the Herald and the Globe are sister papers, I wanted to see if the latter made any mention of him, so I checked it only to find that it and the Times have not made independent reports since the start of the COVID-19 lockdown in Washington state. Seeing as Sound Publishing doesn't even list them in its portfolio now, I think it's safe to assume that both papers have ceased operations. With that in mind, I have updated the articles of both newspapers with this info, and I feel that the Media sections in the Marysville and Arlington articles should be updated as well; however, since no official statement was ever made (and I doubt Sound Publishing will do so in the near future), I don't want to run afoul of WP:OR. I have no idea on what should be done at this point, so I would like to solicit suggestions here on how to proceed. SmartAn01 ( talk) 08:45, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Google Maps shows that the driving distance from the "center" of Marysville at 4th and State to the 145th Street exit at I-5, the Seattle city limits, is 25.0 miles – much less than 35 reported in the lede of this article. This kind of measurement is IMO how Americans usually reckon distances between cities. ☆ Bri ( talk) 18:51, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
