Marysville Mayor Todd Frye is looking to incorporate the youth of the community to help design the city’s next flag. Frye said Marysville’s over-50-year-old flag could use a refresh, and decided it would be fun to involve the youth. He said he is hoping to branch off the city’s coloring page competitions that the council hosts for the students. “I’m hoping to kind of branch off of that, but also include junior high and high school kids in the community.” “The students can just draft whatever they think of as a flag that would represent Marysville and what it means to them.” The top designs will then go back to the Marysville Junior and Senior High students, who will vote on the next flag design for the city. Frye said the council and organizations try to stay invested in the youth, hoping projects like this helps them decide to stay or come back to Marysville as adults.
