• Continue to make local investments and work with state and federal elected officials to obtain funding for much-needed major transportation improvements. Currently the city is leading construction of a new First Street Bypass and widening State Avenue between 100th and 116th Street NE from three to five lanes. Future projects fully funded and scheduled for construction between 2019 and 2030 include a new I-5 interchange at SR 529, I-5 interchange expansion at 116th Street NE, I-5 interchange improvements at 88th Street NE, and a new I-5 interchange at 156th Street NE. We appreciate tremendous partnerships at the county, state and federal levels to help meet our community's growing transportation needs. 
  
• Developing parks on property that the city owns. Building more trails for our parks inventory including the third phase of the Bayview Trail in the east Marysville foothills and expanding the Ebey Waterfront Trail within the Qwuloolt Estuary.   
• Maintaining customer service, transparency and accountability in city government and prioritizing constituent issues with prompt response. One example of the transparency is the new Open Checkbook that gives citizen taxpayers a clear, easily accessible way to review city finances.   
• Investing in our water infrastructure so that Marysville can be self-sufficient in providing water to residents and businesses. This will provide for stable rates far into the future and allow us to avoid paying the much higher rates that other cities face when purchasing water from other jurisdictions. We are making significant progress here and now provide the majority of our own water locally, decreasing the need to purchase expensive water from other entities.   
• Partnering with our residents and businesses to clean up Marysville and show real pride in our community, an effort that greatly benefits all of us.
