City of Marysville, WA

Big thanks to Everett Herald reporter Ta'Leah Van Sistine and photographer Ryan Berry for shining an environmental spotlight on our new state-of-the-art water treatment facility. It's the first time this filtering technology has been used at this scale, meaning a relatively small site cleans stormwater for a large area of downtown. Bonus: it functions as an extension of the park! https://lnkd.in/gzRHG9XH

Yesterday we were delighted to officially open the Downtown Stormwater Treatment Plant on 1st Street west of Ebey Waterfront Park. Thanks to a $7.6 million grant from Washington State Department of Ecology, this new facility uses green technology to clean stormwater runoff from the downtown area, removing oils and other pollutants before the water drains into Ebey Slough. It will clean 110 million gallons of water every year and prevent more than 100,000 pounds of pollution from entering our waterways over the next 20 years! Many thanks to city staff and our project partners: Mcclure And Sons INC Dutton Electric Company Inc Systems Interface Inc.

The Obstacle Overcomer Award, our third award from the 3rd annual Marysville Business Summit, honors a company that has faced one or more significant challenges by adopting a new business practice or strategy. Quil Ceda Leather started as Jansha Tannery in 1932. Despite her severe anxiety, Lacey Coragiulo began working there at age 19 with no experience in leather or business operations. She learned everything on the job by reading books and shadowing the then-owners. Lacey took over the business when the tannery was on the verge of closing, and expanded clientele by marketing to motorcycle groups, small businesses and events. Learn more about this year’s Obstacle Overcomer Award winner, owner Lacey Coragiulo and Quil Ceda Leather.

The Community Champion Award honors a company that, in addition to its core business, provides significant community support.   3rd Street Book Exchange has intentionally positioned itself as a community-centered space.

Rachel believes that business is not just about selling books, but about connecting people.
