Experienced teachers in Marysville and Arlington are among the highest paid in the state.

New teachers in the two cities also make out fairly well, according to the Washington Education Association.

In some cases they earn thousands of dollars more than peers with equal experience in other districts. State lawmakers hope to eliminate that during the process of fully funding public schools as demanded by the state Supreme Court.

Experienced teachers in Arlington make $91,372 a year, while those in Marysville make $90,346.

The WEA listed many districts at the top level paying $67,000 annually. That $30,000 difference is a result of years of bargained contracts and districts using local property tax levies to pay higher wages.
