Marysville Tulalip Campus

Formerly Marysville Secondary Campus, it is an 84,000-square-foot campus which houses three separate schools operated by the Marysville School District and the Tulalip Tribes. The structures were constructed in 2008 of newly built prefab modular units which look and feel like traditional construction. The high schools share a gym and commons center. The site is owned by the district within the Tulalip Reservation. [3]
