Looks like it's official. NASCAR is coming to Marysville/Arlington.. You thought traffic sucked before...

No kidding Pm that is really going to make traffic bad

Might be fun to go watch once and a while however

I wonder if they put it in Snoho county to draw some traffic from BC?

I would think the south end would have more mullets:p

They should have put it in Eastern Wahington off I-90 somewhere--then they wouldn't have added to an already overburdend I-5's problems. The weather is more cooperative, land more readily and inexpensively available and the area could've benefited from the non-agricultural economic stimulis.

Besides, the Eastern Washington already holds a sizeable lead in chewing tobaco sales and stylish mullet hair cuts.

I heard some talk about putting in a specific route direct from I-5 to the track. Does anyone know more about this, if its true?

I guess they want to pull in people from Portland to BC and over to Montana. If this thing does get built it will be an odd sight.

How much will property value go up in that area?

... or down depending on your perspective.


Betcha that a whole new crop 'o trailer parks are gonna spring up in that area too!

Won't that attract tornadoes?

Does that mean you'll be moving to the Marysville area Salt?

that's a cheap shot...

Nah PM... like KK, I ain't got enough hair left to sport a mullet and I couldn't tell Dale Earnhart jr. from Dale Evans so a Marysville move ain't in the cards for me!

However... as a potential business opportunity, I may invest in a couple o' them trailer parks 'specially so yer kin could have a place to live close by ya. :p

whats this i heard about tax dollars going to building it???

I was thinking that vacant property values should increase due to the sheer volume of people flocking to the area to watch cars travel in a stupid oval circle chasing each other. LAME...... But maybe the property owners can benefit from this by creating places to camp and host the out of control busch beer parties (while stationed in North Carolina, the popular beer of choice for nascar fans was busch). Oh and I'll be d@&ned if I'm paying for construction of all this.
