The City of Marysville receives Hotel/Motel tax funds annually generated from overnight hotel stays within the Marysville city limits. There are five hotels in the City of Marysville that generate these funds:
•   Holiday Inn Express & Suites, 8606 36th Ave. NE, Marysville. (360) 530-1234
• Home2 Suites by Hilton, 4070 116th St. NE, Marysville. (360) 722-3600
•   La Quinta Inn & Suites, 11430 38th Dr. NE, Marysville. (360) 659-1710
•   Village Inn & Suites, 235 Beach Ave, Marysville. (360) 659-0005
•   City Center Motel, 810 State Ave, Marysville. (360) 659-2424
The city appoints a Tourism Hotel/Motel Committee that reviews each application submitted and makes recommendations to the Marysville City Council for approval. The committee and Council’s objective in selecting projects for assistance from the Tourism Grant Program is to enhance the City of Marysville's tourism market. Awards are limited to projects promoting or developing tourism in Marysville. The means not only investing in tourism solicitation, but also ensuring that viable programming exists here for the visitors we attract. Consequently, in addition to funding visitor solicitation proposals, the City also funds program proposals if they are accompanied by a reasonable public promotion component.
Some examples of projects include, but are not limited to:
•   Sporting events
•   Conferences
•   Trade shows
•   Festivals
•   Performing arts or entertainment
•   Promotion of the City of Marysville tourism market
Funds are intended to promote visitors from outside the area to the City of Marysville. When applying for funds, it is important to detail how and where you will be marketing your event, and to track where your visitors are coming from.
Programs or events that take place during the off-season, September through May, may earn additional points.
RCW 67.28 details how these funds can be used. The funds are designated for use by non-profits or public agencies.
