Holly White shook her head in disbelief. She just paid a meager $5 for a much-needed vacuum sweeper. And she wasn’t the only person to escape with a hot-deal at the Marysville Parks and Recreation’s Junk in the Trunk event held Saturday, July 9, at the Marysville Municipal Courthouse.

MARYSVILLE — After the Tulalip Amphitheatre served as the staging grounds for last year’s “National Night Out Against Crime,” the Marysville community will once again host the annual event this year.
When Marysville Mayor Jon Nehring attended last year’s Night Out, alongside Marysville Police Chief Rick Smith and Tulalip Tribal Police Chief Jay Goss, he praised the event as an example of the ongoing partnership between the Marysville and Tulalip communities.
That partnership will continue this year from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Aug. 2 at Comeford Park, where members of the Marysville and Tulalip police departments, as well as the Marysville Fire District and other area crime prevention agencies, will be on hand to provide information to the public by handing out pamphlets and answering attendees’ questions at various display booths.

Volunteers will gather at 9 a.m. in the Cedarcrest Middle School north parking lot, located at 6400 88th St. NE, to receive painting materials and location assignments that will direct them to several “hot spots” around Marysville and street-side fences where homeowners have been victimized.
MARYSVILLE — A recent ruling by the Washington State Pollution Control Hearings Board could help Marysville residents who are hoping to breathe a little easier.
The Hearings Board upheld $119,000 in fines for 17 odor violation notices during 2009 and 2010 at Cedar Grove Composting facilities in Everett and Maple Valley, denying the company’s appeal.
The Board reduced the fines imposed on Cedar Grove by the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency from $169,000 to $119,000, to give the company partial credit for the $6.5 million that its representatives estimate it’s spent on odor control technology in recent years.
For the Tulalip Tribes, it’s a means of maintaining not only their lands, but also their culture. Precision Thinning began grooming 88 acres of two 28-year-old stands of Douglas fir trees on the Tulalip Tribes reservation in late June, thinning them from an average of 400 down to 160 trees per acre. The Tribes aim not only to foster healthier trees and a richer ecosystem, but also to provide their peoples with places to forage and hunt, which are important parts of their heritage.
