MARYSVILLE — Chelsea Scott has had to paint over graffiti in her own neighborhood before, but July 23 marked the first time she was able to do so alongside sailors, city of Marysville staff members and police officers. Scott will be entering the U.S. Navy as a seaman, and she was one of nearly 20 volunteers from Navy Recruiting District Seattle to join roughly 30 city employees and their families in grabbing paint brushes and rollers for the city’s first “Graffiti PaintOut” that morning. “I live just down the street,” Scott said, as she applied a second coat the fences lining 67th Avenue
NE, south of 67th Place NE. “I love doing community service projects like this. We did them as part of the Naval Junior ROTC in high school.” Scott graduated from Marysville-Pilchuck High School just this year, but she wasn’t even the youngest volunteer to grab a brush that day. Fellow Marysville resident Kaitlyn Snook, whose father is a city employee, joked that she’d gained “paint freckles” from touching up the fences between 59th Drive and 101st Place NE. “Graffiti is not really good for younger kids to see because it could influence them to do it too,” said Snook, a 10-year-old whose face was spotted with red SEE GRAFFITI, PAGE 2

Marysville’s Kaitlyn Snook, 10, was more than willing to get covered in “paint freckles” on July 23 to protect other local kids from being exposed to graffiti.
Everett Clinic plans Lakewood facility BY KIRK BOXLEITNER kboxleitner@marysvilleglobe.com
LAKEWOOD — By late next year, area residents should expect to have a new option in health care available
to them. The Everett Clinic broke ground on its planned two-story, 60,000-squarefoot, $24 million facility north of 172nd Street NE and west of I-5

on July 21, as Everett Clinic Chief Operating Officer Mark Mantei explained that the 3.6-acre site would serve as the grounds for an even bigger building than their branch in Smokey Point, hosting a broader cross-section of health care services than any Everett Clinic outside of their main offices in Everett itself. “We’re reinventing health care by strengthening the relationship between patients and physicians,” Mantei said. “This clinic embodies that vision.” Mantei elaborated that this groundbreaking came after a year and a half of planning, including mockups and designs that eventually covered the walls of entire hallways, during which staff members
and patients alike were invited to contribute their insights. Stanwood resident Leah TremlEllis currently goes to the Everett Clinic branch in Marysville, but she plans to start going to Lakewood as soon as that facility is open by its target date in the fall of 2012, She attended the groundbreaking because she was one of the patients whose input guided the design of the Lakewood facility. “They listened to me at every step, even about the smallest things,” said Treml-Ellis, who’d told clinic staff that she preferred to have the weight-scales in the exam rooms rather than out in the hallways, to avoid feeling selfSEE FACILITY, PAGE 19
