LAKEWOOD — The Black Friday shopping holiday is slowly becoming more of a Black Thursday, as more and more local retailers opened their doors to thousands of early-bird shoppers on Thanksgiving Day. This year, large chain stores such as Walmart and Target began their Black Friday sales in the evening, with both Arlington and Tulalip Walmart stores offering three sales events at 8 p.m., 10 p.m., and 5 a.m. The Marysville Target store, located at Lakewood Crossing, opened its doors at 9 p.m. and the Lakewood Best Buy began their sale at midnight. Deb Hunt, manager of the Marysville Target store, explained the chain’s deci-

sion to open on Thursday, Nov. 22. “Last year we opened at midnight and the year before that it was 4 a.m.,” she said. “It’s based on trends and business needs. And the consumer is very excited about Black Friday and eager to come early.” The line around the building proved the same, as some customers arrived five hours before the store opened its doors. Marysville residents Cathy and Steve Hammond were the first to stake their claim on the curb outside of the store and are no strangers to the Black Friday sales. “This is our first year at Target,” said Cathy Hammond. “We’ve gone to Walmart and Cabela’s in the past.” SEE SHOPPERS, PAGE 2

MARYSVILLE — The Marysville School District Board of Directors was named the Board of the Year by the Washington State School Directors Association this fall. The MSD Board was recognized at the Nov. 17 WSSDA annual conference for school districts of 9,000 students or more, after the WSSDA named the MSD Board a Board of Distinction last year. The application process is based on the Washington Effective School

Board Standards, which ask boards to: ■ Show how their actions align with effective board governance practices. ■ Document their focus on educational excellence and equity for all students. ■ Identify how they create conditions for student and staff success. ■ Share their commitment to continuous improvement and accountability.
