MARYSVILLE – Demolition is going on at 4th Street on both sides of the freeway.

On the Tulalip side, the Best Western Tulalip Inn has been torn down. The lease came up and the tribes decided they didn’t want to put money into fixing up the inn, so they decided to demolish it and build from scratch.

There is no tenant yet for the lot at 3228 Marine Drive near the Arby’s.

On the Marysville side, Mayor Jon Nehring said a Coastal Community Bank is going in at 301 State St. That is the location for the Old Country Buffet restaurant.

Nehring said he’s happy about Coastal building anew.

“That building has been vacant a lot of the time,” he said, adding he also likes that Coastal is a real community bank. “They are the ones who forgave the Oso loans.”
