MARYSVILLE — With school out for summer and the weather getting hotter, many families are heading to their local rivers and lakes to cool down and have fun, but city and county officials warn that anyone entering those waters needs to keep safety in mind, especially if they have children in tow. City of Marysville Parks and Recreation Director Jim Ballew welcomes visitors to use the boat launch at the Ebey Waterfront Park, but wants to make sure they’ll be able to return without incident. “Our boat launch gets a lot more traffic during July and August,” Ballew said. “What we worry about with inexperienced boaters is making sure that they’re not overloading their boats. You don’t want to be bringing a big cooler and lawn chairs on board a sixfoot boat.” Ballew also advised anyone entering Ebey Slough to exercise extreme caution with the current.

Marysville Police Cmdr. Robb Lamoureux explained that the illegal fireworks confiscated by officers — enough to fill an entire secure storage locker for hazardous materials at the Marysville Police Station — will need to be destroyed by the Washington State Patrol Bomb Squad. “Besides our regular patrol officers being on the lookout, we have an additional three
