I-5 in Marysville reopens after police activity

Traffic was backed up for miles on northbound I-5 through Marysville for police activity Saturday morning. All lanes were blocked at milepost 200 for a short time.

“Officers attempted to make a traffic stop about 10 a.m. this morning on a vehicle that we had previously received a watch for,” said Officer Greg Bartell with Marysville Police. “It was believed the male driver was involved in a domestic dispute in Everett.”

As officers attempted to stop him, the suspect got out and shot himself, Bartell said. He is deceased.

#Beadvised 🚨NB I5 at Mp 200, Marysville, will be fully blocked for an ongoing incident with a firearm. Please be patient, do not try to drive through, and avoid the area. Troopers and allied agencies are attempting to secure the scene. Updates will be provided ASAP.
