HASCO Breaks Ground in Marysville

EVERETT, WA – On Tuesday, June 9th, 2026, the Housing Authority of Snohomish County (HASCO) held a groundbreaking ceremony for Leonard Crossing Apartments, a new 124-unit development in Marysville. The project aims to address the growing demand for affordable housing and will feature a mix of one, two, and three-bedroom units designed to accommodate a variety of household sizes and needs.

About the development

The development will sit on a 4-acre parcel of land close to downtown, grocery stores, and medical services located across the street from Marysville Cedar and Grove Park & Ride. In addition to its convenient location and quick access to I-5, the property will have onsite management, a clubhouse with lounge space and kitchen, an exercise room, game room, & bike storage.

HASCO’s CEO, Laurie Olson, extends her gratitude to the City of Marysville, Snohomish County Treasurer, the Community Foundation of Snohomish County, Washington State Housing Finance Commission and Washington State Department of Commerce, “We are thrilled to

celebrate our 55th anniversary by adding new homes to the Marysville community and are thankful to each of our partners that helped make this happen.”

Initially established in 1971 to address the housing needs of senior citizens, HASCO celebrates 55 years of business this year with a portfolio of over 2,600 units of housing and 4,300 housing choice vouchers.

Snohomish County Treasurer, Brian Sullivan, is excited to achieve a first-of-its-kind accomplishment for Snohomish County, “It has always been my goal to create affordable housing programs. The Snohomish County Treasury is the first in the State of Washington to bring taxpayer dollars for affordable housing supporting Leonard Crossing. I look forward to future projects using the Treasurer’s Community Investment Program.”

What this means for the community

The City of Marysville is anticipated to outpace Snohomish County in growth. Over the next two decades, the population of Marysville is projected to rise by approximately 27,500 residents, bringing the total to nearly 100,000—a growth rate of 41%.

“We’re excited to continue the partnership with HASCO to bring much-needed affordable housing to Marysville in the most efficient and timely manner possible.” says Keith James, a representative from the Inland Group.

The Inland Group is set to begin construction on the property this year, with leases starting by 2028.
