Shocking Discovery in North Bend: Couple Found Dead in Apparent Murder-Suicide

Marysville Homeowners Stunned by Record Property Tax Increase for 2024

Marysville residents are bracing for a substantial increase in their property tax bills for 2024, with an average hike of 26.6%, marking the highest jump in Snohomish County. This increase is largely due to a voter-approved school levy. Conversely, residents in Woodway and certain other areas are seeing reductions in their taxes. The overall countywide property tax has risen by 4.6%, reflecting a mix of increases and decreases across different areas, influenced by local levies and changes in assessed property values. New legislation offers some tax relief for seniors and those with disabilities, adjusting the income threshold for eligibility.
