MARYSVILLE — A midweek snowfall seemed to affect work and school schedules more than traffic within the city of Marysville.

The Pentagon’s decision to award a $35 billion Air Force tanker contract to Boeing has drawn praise from government officials at the city, county, state and federal levels in Washington.
Gloria Hirashima, chief administrative officer and community development director for the city of Marysville, admitted to some nervousness prior to the Feb. 24 announcement that Boeing had beat out European competitor EADS for the contract.
“We look at the Marysville and Arlington area as a future center for manufacturing and industrial jobs,” Hirashima said. “A healthy and vibrant Boeing is a key piece of that economic growth.”
The Boeing 767 jet serves as the basis of the tanker, and this contract will keep it in production through the rest of the decade. Hirashima acknowledged that Marysville already owes a great deal of its population’s employment to Boeing, so she’s pleased to see those jobs sustained as Boeing replaces 179 Air Force KC-135 tankers, which Boeing built in the 1950s and 1960s.
With the weather so cold right now, the Marysville Fire District would like to take this opportunity to remind people about fire safety.
