City of Marysville, WA

If you’ve enjoyed an event at the historic Marysville Opera House, you know how special it is. Readers around Snohomish County agree. The Opera House was named Best Wedding Venue in the Everett Herald 2024 “Best of Snohomish County” awards. The Marysville Opera House was built in 1911 for the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, a fraternal organization. After the Odd Fellows lodge disbanded in the 1960s, the building had a colorful history, including stints as a roller skating rink, an indoor shooting range, a furniture store and a teen disco nightclub. The City of Marysville bought the Opera House in 2018 and has renovated it to retain its elegant charm. It is the only building in Marysville listed on the historic register. Features include a magnificent ballroom and stage, charming mezzanine, picturesque balcony, modern A/V systems and separate get-ready cottage. Check out the venue for your next special event at free open houses held the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 6 to 8 p.m. at 1225 3rd St.

Making sure your tap water is safe to drink is a scientifically complex process that extends from the city’s treatment plants to your faucets. That’s where Krista Gessner comes in. As the city’s cross connection control specialist, her job involves tests, inspections and education about potential contamination. Risk of drinking water contamination can come from backflow from pools, boilers, wells, irrigation systems and home medical equipment. “If a homeowner has certain hazards connected to their water lines with no backflow prevention in place, the potential to contaminate our drinking water supply increases,” Gessner says. “Identifying and preventing these risks is a big part of my job.” A city employee for nearly 25 years, Gessner started in a part-time position before becoming the first woman to work on the Water Utility Construction team. Following her passion in science, she later moved toward a career with the Water Quality team where she works today. “I’d be lying if I said it was easy, but I wanted to learn every aspect of working in water,” Gessner says. “I find it remarkable what we can change in the physical and chemical characteristics of water to make it potable.” #WomenInScience #February11 #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience
