A developer plans a 5-story, age-restricted senior apartment community with 170 units at 8300 State Route 9 and will introduce it to neighbors at a meeting on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 5:30 pm 1.

What the records say

A developer is proposing a new retirement housing community at 8300 State Route 9 in Marysville. The plan calls for 170 apartments in a single 5-story building, with a mix of one-bedroom, one-bedroom flex, and two-bedroom units designed for seniors 1. Before any formal review, the applicant wants to introduce the project to nearby residents and answer questions at a neighborhood meeting on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 5:30 pm, at Getchell Commons in Marysville Getchell High School, 8301 84th Street NE 1. The City has not yet received a formal application for the project, but one is anticipated 1. That means the meeting is a preview, not a permit decision — details like site plans, environmental review, and timelines would come later through the City's application process.
