Groundbreaking event celebrates new low-income housing
MARYSVILLE — Two dozen people braved the June rain to celebrate a new affordable housing project’s groundbreaking on Tuesday in Marysville.
The Housing Authority of Snohomish County broke ground on its Leonard Crossing project in Marysville, across the street from the Marysville Cedar and Grove Park & Ride. Construction for the more-than-$40 million project will begin before the end of the year.
The grassy 4-acre parcel, home to an old Marysville Fire administration building and the remnants of a drive-thru coffee stand, will hold 124 affordable housing units, a clubhouse with lounge space and kitchen, an exercise room, a game room and bike storage.
Leasing is projected to begin 2028, spokesperson Pamela Townsend said after the ceremony.
