WATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The Water Comprehensive Plan for the City of Marysville was developed pursuant to Washington Administrative Code (WAC) 246-290-100, which requires that public water systems submit a water system plan to Washington State Department of Health every six years.
2016 Update
The primary purpose of the Water Comprehensive Plan (WCP) is to identify and schedule water system improvements that correct existing system deficiencies and ensure a safe and reliable supply of water to current and future customers.
This updated 2016 WCP reflects Snohomish County’s 2035 population allocation to the City and the City’s current Urban Growth Area (UGA), which are consistent with the City and County 2015 Comprehensive Plan updates. The WCP also reflects improvements and changes to the water system since the completion of the 2009 WCP.
The WCP presents a description of the existing water system and service area, a forecast of future water demands, policies and design criteria for water system operation and improvements, the operations and maintenance program, staffing requirements, a schedule of improvements, and a financial plan to accomplish the improvements. The WCP also includes several ancillary elements that include a water use efficiency plan, a water quality monitoring plan, a wellhead protection plan, a watershed control plan, and a cross-connection control program.
SEWER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The 2011 Sewer Comprehensive Plan for the City of Marysville addresses the City’s comprehensive planning needs for wastewater collection, transmission, treatment and disposal, as well as future service area development for the next 20 years.
The Plan was prepared in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 90.48 Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Water Pollution Control; Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Section 173-240-050 - General Sewer Plan; and WAC 173-240-060 Engineering Report.
SURFACE WATER COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
The City of Marysville adopted the 2016 City of Marysville Surface Water Comprehensive Plan as a sub-element of the Public Facilities and Services Element of the Marysville Comprehensive Plan on June 12, 2017. The Surface Water Comprehensive Plan is a planning document that provides guidance to minimize adverse effects of stormwater runoff on ground and surface water in a manner that complies with federal, state, and local surface water regulations. It identifies water quality and quantity problems associated with stormwater runoff that may affect the environment and community and provides recommendations for improvements and programs including a financial analysis and implementation schedule.
The Plan identifies specific structural and nonstructural solutions to quantity and water quality problems within the City. Structural solutions include construction of capital projects such as stormwater detention and treatment facilities, infiltration facilities, pipelines, and culverts. Nonstructural solutions include stormwater management facility inspection and maintenance, public education and outreach, water quality monitoring, implementation of best management practices (BMPs), and regulations encouraging vegetation preservation and low impact development.

DOWNTOWN MASTER PLAN
The Marysville Downtown Master Plan lays out key recommendations and implementation strategies to guide the future growth, development, and redevelopment of the downtown study area. The plan focuses on a number of key topics, including development options, transportation, utilities, street improvements, and parks and trails. The recommendations related to these topics lay out the framework to revitalize downtown by investing in infrastructure, addressing barriers to redevelopment and spurring economic development, all while enhancing environmental quality.
A Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) to the Comprehensive Plan EIS was issued for the Downtown Master Plan on September 15, 2021.
LAKEWOOD NEIGHBORHOOD MASTER PLAN
The Lakewood Neighborhood Master Plan provides long-range guidelines for land use, building and parking placement on a site, architectural design, open space, landscaping, stormwater drainage, signage and way-finding, pedestrian circulation and utilities.
The Master Plan also focuses on transportation planning and traffic mitigation strategies to enable additional development within an already congested neighborhood and promote safe walking and bicycling.
On March 27, 2017, City Council Approved the Lakewood Neighborhood Master plan with the adoption of Ordinance 3053.
With the adoption of Ordinance 3265 on April 3, 2023, City Council approved transferring the site and building design standards from the Lakewood Neighborhood Master Plan into the Marysville Municipal Code (MMC 22C.065) and associated minor amendments.
The State Avenue Corridor Subarea Plan is being developed to provide long-range guidelines to improve the image, character, utilization, and quality of life along State Avenue as redevelopment and infill development occur. While there are no immediate proposals for major redevelopment along this corridor, standards are being prepared to ensure that, when redevelopment or infill development does occur, it is consistent with the community’s vision and goals, and results in the desired improvement to the corridor.
The State Avenue Corridor Subarea Plan will include standards that pertain to land use, commercial and mixed-use nodes, architectural design, site design (where and how structures, parking, etc. are placed and oriented), landscaping, open space and park/recreational opportunities, stormwater drainage, pedestrian circulation, and transit service.
Transit
City staff are specifically planning for Community Transit’s Swift service, which is a bus rapid transit line designed to move people quickly. Although Swift service is not anticipated to reach Marysville until 2027-28, city and Community Transit planners are considering potential locations for Swift stations (e.g. transit stops) and complementary uses so that the best locations for Swift stations remain available for future use and the service is maximized. Complementary uses include employment centers and multi-family housing that are more likely to have transit riders.
