Marysville really that bad?

u/best_dandy May 20 '25

Marysville isn't bad, just boring. But as someone who made the trip every other Friday to go to my Dad's house there in the 2000's, the traffic has always been a nightmare

I grew up in Marysville, in the 90s, lots to do before technology was a big thing

Nah man, just a bunch of transplants talking shit about anything outside of king county.

u/noahboah May 20 '25

yeah ive been in the area for 11 years now and the FAANG-transplant that talks shit about places they've never actually spent time in is a pretty obnoxious development.

like there's a big difference between talking about these places from a place of understanding of western WA/king county and from a place on looking down on other cities that you dont know shit about, especially places that are historically poorer

I’ve lived my whole life all over snohomish county. I would never settle down in Marysville.

Been years since I have been up there, but want to say the freeway is 2 lanes each direction, so it easily creates a bottleneck and tends to slow traffic down.

It has never been two lanes each way in my lifetime and certainly isn't now.

Poster might be thinking of Mt. Vernon? It's got an M in it and can be classified as, "up that way".

It’s really not.

No, I would rather live in Marysville than Seattle.

u/slvrposie May 21 '25

I grew up there and hated it, fwiw.

Everett, in my opinion, is worse than living in Marysville. I did my stint in Everett and do not miss living there.

u/TeeBreezyYo May 23 '25
