"I'm bored" is the two most dreaded words for a parent to hear during summer vacation! Macaroni KID Marysville/Snohomish wants to help keep those words few and far between in your household with our 2024 Ultimate Summer Fun Guide. We have hundreds of ways to entertain, exhaust, and find your family fun this summer. Ready, set, let's have fun!
As always, keep in mind that this edition of Macaroni KID focuses on the Snohomish County area, including Everett, Marysville, Lake Stevens, Snohomish, and Mukilteo. There are tons of activities outside our area, but this list is about keeping it LOCAL, EASY and FUN!
First, I would like to thank The Evergreen State Fair for sponsoring this guide! They help make it possible for this guide to be written and published; helping you to find your family fun!
