Three items on Marysville's planning calendar point to new housing and new rules for builders in Marysville, Washington, this fall: a 170-unit senior apartment building on State Route 9, a 21-lot subdivision called Creekside Crossing 2, and a Planning Commission hearing next week on the city's critical areas regulations.
Five-story senior apartments on SR 9
A developer is proposing an age-restricted senior apartment community at 8300 State Route 9, according to a city notice. The plan calls for 170 apartment units in a single, five-story building designed as retirement housing, with a mix of one-bedroom, one-bedroom flex and two-bedroom units.
The applicant held a neighborhood meeting at Marysville Getchell High School in early October. The city had not yet received a formal application but said one is expected.

Creekside Crossing 2
Separately, the city is reviewing Creekside Crossing 2, a 21-lot planned residential development and binding site plan on about 3.59 acres in the Neighborhood Residential 6.5 zone. The site work includes internal roads, water and sewer extensions, a stormwater facility, landscaping and recreational open space. The public comment period closed in late October, and the city will issue a decision under its standard review timelines.
Critical areas rules up for a hearing
The Marysville Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 6:30 PM on the city's critical areas ordinance update. The state Growth Management Act requires the periodic rewrite, and the changes cover wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat areas, frequently flooded areas, geologically hazardous areas and critical aquifer recharge areas.
These are the rules that set wetland and stream buffers and steep-slope review on a building site, so the update reaches most new subdivisions and many single lots. The city says the amendments line up with its 2024 Comprehensive Plan and the Department of Ecology's best available science. Written comments are due by 4:30 PM on November 9, 2026, and the meeting can be attended in person at City Hall or online.
Budget vote Monday
The same week, the Marysville City Council is scheduled to vote on the city's $470.2 million 2027-28 budget on Monday, Nov. 9, The Everett Herald reported. The council has already approved higher utility rates for 2027. Wastewater, for example, rises by $23.81 for a typical household, from $107 to $130.81 every two months.
Mayor Jon Nehring pointed to the city's pipes as one reason: "We also have an aging water and sewer infrastructure system that requires careful budgeting and planning for repair and replacement."
