About 2 hours ago I was taking off to run over to Everett and upon walking outside I noticed it was trying to snow. Isn't it supposed to be the first day of Spring? Well it maybe but in Washington just about anything can happen from one day to the next. Washington is the state that invented "Partly Sunny" weather conditions because partly sunny is a nice day :) Well back to the snow...after jumping in the truck I started traveling South on Highway 526 and it was snow pretty good, really wet though, and the temperature was falling pretty sharply. But now it seems to have lightened, for the moment, and warmed up enough to keep rain in its liquid form. It seems that Father Winter isn't leaving with a fight :) Fine by me...maybe I'll hit the mountains to catch some air before its all over. 03/20/2007

Roncrest is one of Marysville's older neighborhoods that retains the small town community feel. It mainly comprised of ramblers with single car garages.

Two blocks East lies Cedarcrest Middle School and everyday kids can be seen walking home along the sides of 88th.

During prohibition moon shiners made there special brew and made the greatest effort to keep it out of sight. What would Marysville be without a little moon shine history? Well in those days the East Hill of Marysville received the name Whiskey Ridge from the moon shine era. It has long since changed from the time but there was a rumor going around, when I was a senior in high school, 1996, that when the hill was cleared old stills where found. So the moon shiners really did make their brew there.Yesterday, when taking pictures, there were children playing basketball and tossing a baseball around. It gave me a big smile to see all the kids out playing and it made me think back to when I was a young tike.

So you may be wondering "why and the heck would I move to Marysville Washington over another city?" and the reason is: location, location, location. Marysville Washington is so centralized it isn't even funny. Near the major Cities: Marysville Washington is 30 miles north of Seattle, 10 miles from Lynnwood, 2 miles from Everett. If working in a metropolitan area is a must then take some time to travel North and see what type of living environment and relaxed atmosphere that is Marysville Washington.Near the Water: The Puget Sound is but a hope skip and jump, literally, to get to and can be accessed through many ways. One of the easiest places to access the Puget Sound is through Ebey Waterfront Park. But if that park doesn't work for your boat size travel to the Everett Marina, just off... 03/05/2007

Well it seems that Father Winter is no going to go quietly into the night. This morning most people in Marysville woke up with a dusting of snow on the ground and as I sit at my desk it is still snowing off and on. I was talking to Mickie this morning and in the South Eastern end of Marysville, Sunnyside area, there was plenty on the ground which made the road a tad slick. When watching the news last night, my girlfriend and I were hoping that there would be enough snow to stay home but our wish didn't come true. From the looks of the forecast our area might get some more tonight but that could just be wishful thinking and interrupting the forecast in my own way :)Being a snow junkie, and just getting back from Mount Hood, I will take the opportunity to take snow days, play in the snow,... 02/28/2007
