MARYSVILLE — Clay Simmons was laid off in 2008, and his family has struggled to make ends meet since. “I was working in the construction industry as a project engineer,” said Simmons, who’s raising three high school-aged children with his wife. “I’m trying to get back into my old career in videography, but it’s tough to transition, especially when people don’t have the money to spend on expenditures like video production.” Without the Assistance League of Everett, McKenna and Dakota Simmons, both students at the Bio-Med Academy, and Dylan Simmons, who’s in his senior year at the School for the Entrepreneur at Marysville Getchell High School, would have had to go without new clothes for school this year, rather than shopping with their dad at the Marysville Fred Meyer on Oct. 18.

At the Oct. 19 “OUR Marysville” mayoral candidates forum and the Oct. 21

Greater Marysville Tulalip Chamber of Commerce mayoral and City Council candidates forum, Wright returned repeatedly to the issues of the Marysville annexation, proposed overpasses across I-5 and how much the city spent on the Coca-Cola bottling plant. While Wright did not object to the annexation itself, he took issue with how it was carried out by Nehring and his fellow City Council members, without a public vote.

“Just because you can do something doesn’t mean you should,” Wright said, after acknowledging that the Council’s actions on the annexation were legal.
