SMOKEY POINT — Saturday, March 30, will be a busy day for families who want to attend both Marysville and Arlington’s Easter Egg Hunts, since they’re scheduled within an hour of each other that same morning.
The free family event at Marysville will feature more than 10,000 plastic eggs, filled with candy and prizes, hidden in and around the Jennings Park Rotary Ranch. In addition, there will be children’s activities and a guest visit from the Easter Bunny.
The Marysville Easter Egg Hunt will take place from 10-11 a.m. on March 30 at Jennings Memorial Park, located at 6915 Armar Rd.
Additional parking will be available at the Marysville Middle School, located at 4923 67th St. NE, until noon that day.
Children will be able to collect eight eggs each, and all participants are asked to bring a canned food item for donation to the Marysville Community Food Bank.
This event is brought to the community by the city of Marysville’s Parks and Recreation Department, the Marysville Noon Rotary, Steve Fulton State Farm Insurance and Grandview Village.

Prizes will be offered in various age categories for children as old as 12 years, and the Easter Bunny will also be on hand for photos during the event.
Hundreds of families have taken part in the Arlington Easter Egg Hunt each year, which happens behind the Stillaguamish Athletic Club. Organizers and volunteers are providing thousands of plastic eggs for the different age groups of children to find.
