Marysville, Washington has specific insurance regulations for special events, ensuring the safety and well-being of its residents and visitors. According to the Marysville Municipal Code (MMC) 5.46.020, any person or entity conducting, promoting, or managing a special event must obtain a special event permit from the city. This permit requirement ensures that events are organized and managed safely and responsibly.

However, MMC 5.46.025 outlines several exceptions to this permit requirement. These exceptions include:

• City-Sponsored Events: Parades, athletic events, or other special occasions that occur exclusively on city property and are fully sponsored or conducted by the City of Marysville. These events undergo an internal review process.
• Private Events: Gatherings held entirely on private property that do not impact public property or require city public safety services.
• Exempt Activities: Funeral and wedding processions on private properties, lawful picketing on sidewalks, block parties on private property without street closures, and the annual Strawberry Festival, governed by MMC Chapter 5.48.
• Small Gatherings: Groups required by law to assemble and gatherings of 100 or fewer people in a city park, unless merchandise or services are offered for sale.
• Temporary Sales: Business sales like holiday, grand opening, anniversary, or single-day concession stands.
• Residential Sales: Garage sales, rummage sales, lemonade stands, and car washes.
• Government Activities: Activities conducted by governmental agencies within their scope of authority.

Despite these exemptions, MMC 5.46.025(1) emphasizes that exempt events must still comply with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations governing public safety and health.
