Marysville is a city in Snohomish County, Washington, USA. The population was 25,315 at the 2000 census. Marysville is known as "The Strawberry City" due to the large number of strawberry farms that once surrounded the city in its earlier days. Over the past decade, and continuing today, large residential, commercial, and industrial growth has transformed this city. With a population of over 32,000 residents (2006 figures) and growing, Marysville ranks as the 29th largest city in the state, and fourth largest in the county. It is expected that over the next decade or so the city will grow to become the second-largest city in the county.

Marysville was officially incorporated on March 20, 1891.

For the longest time, the city of Marysville had only one school district within its municipal boundaries, the Marysville School District. However, over the past decade the geographic territory of the city has increased substantially due to annexations. Today, parts of four school districts are contained within the city limits:

• Marysville School District

The school district is host to five high schools: Marysville Pilchuck High School, Heritage High School, Marysville Alternative High School, Grace Academy, and Marysville Arts and Technology High School. Last year, Marysville Arts and Technology High School (A&T) scored higher on the WASL than any other school in Snohomish County. Marysville Pilchuck High School (MPHS) has the second largest campus in the state and the highest number of students in any high school in Washington. While Marysville-Pilchuck provides a wide variety of classes and courses, A&T offers specialized courses in the Arts and Technology fields.
