MARYSVILLE — A newly formed nonprofit is set to host the first ever Pride festival in Marysville next week, one of about a half dozen other parades and festivals set to take place throughout the county to celebrate Pride month.

Vee Gilman and Mike Pieckiel, two organizers working to put together Marysville Pride, helped form a nonprofit to do so last winter. The group had about seven months to organize and prepare a brand new Pride festival in Snohomish County’s second largest city.

“That’s a very short timeline to make something like that happen,” Pieckiel said Thursday.

The group received support from other Pride organizations operating throughout the county.

3. I live here in Marysville (WA)

and I can't believe it. The northern part of Snohomish Co. is pretty red and lots of MAGA. I hope it goes ok for them but I am surprised.
