Community Transit is here to get you where you want to go. We are proud to be a part of the Marysville community — we live here, ride here, and drive here. Wherever you need to go in Marysville, feel good about how you get there.
Marysville is the second-largest city in Snohomish County after Everett, with a population of 71,144 in the 2022 U.S. census. As of 2015, Marysville was also the fastest-growing city in Washington state, growing at an annual rate of 2.5 percent. Marysville
is home to many regional destinations. One of the largest employers of Marysville residents is the Boeing Company and their Everett assembly plant. Much of its economy centers around retail sales, including downtown Marysville Towne Center Mall.
The Naval Station Everett also is a major area employer.
People traveling to and from the area can choose from multiple bus routes served by Community Transit. Smokey Point Transit Center and four local park & rides are major
hubs for many of these regional transit options. Other options include Community Transit's DART paratransit service and Vanpool. Local parks and bike trails also offer nearby options for pedestrians and bikers.
Community Transit is offering six double-decker buses for auction to the public Oct. 4-11 through Murphy Auction in Marysville. These iconic two-story buses, the agency has dubbed Double Talls, are roomy, seating 70+ passengers each or offering double the space for a creative venture.
Because Community Transit purchases its buses with public funds, when it comes time to surplus them after their transit life is over, they go to auction. These buses are well maintained and have between 190k-250k miles on them.
What would you do with your very own double-decker bus? A food truck might be fun. How about a private holiday lights shuttle? A group ski trip? A two-story motor home to turn road trips into glamping. Imagine the memories (and selfies). The possibilities are endless!
The only question now is: where will your dreams take you?
The auction is available online Oct. 4 through Oct. 11. You can see a sample of vehicle photos at https://murphyauction.com/Auction/Details/9636.
