Marysville, WA is a community that embodies well-being, connection, and a spirit of adventure. From the serene waters of the Puget Sound to the breathtaking Cascade Mountains, Marysville is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream — offering hiking, skiing, fishing, and year-round exploration. The greater Seattle area comes alive in the summer and fall, and there’s no better place to experience the vibrant arts, food, and culture of the Pacific Northwest.

The YMCA of Snohomish County is a thriving $42 million association, driven by over 900 dedicated leaders who serve through six full-facility branches, 28 school-age care sites, early learning centers, preschools, and a new overnight camp. Together, we’re committed to removing barriers and creating opportunities for everyone in our community.

As a vital branch of our Association, the Marysville Family YMCA is a cornerstone of the Marysville and Tulalip communities. With a 2025 operating budget projected at $5.3 million, our 46,000-square-foot facility serves more than 7,000 members annually. With strong partnerships with the Tulalip Tribes, local schools, and civic leaders, the Marysville Y is preparing to embark on a transformational capital campaign to expand and enhance our facilities to better meet the growing needs of our diverse and dynamic community.

We are seeking a dynamic, cause-driven leader passionate about strengthening community. The ideal candidate is a relationship builder, skilled in fundraising, volunteer and staff leadership, business strategy, and community engagement. They will thrive in leading high-performing teams and will be deeply committed to advancing the Y’s mission and impact in Marysville and beyond.
