CIC Logo Website for CIC Arlington: https://cascadeindustrialcenter.com/


A long-term joint effort by the cities of Marysville and Arlington, the Cascade Industrial Center (CIC) received its official designation as a Manufacturing and Industrial Center by the Puget Sound Regional Council in 2019. The CIC includes just over 4,000 acres of manufacturing and industrial zoned land with more than 1,700 developable acres.

As Snohomish County’s Hub for Manufacturing Innovation, the CIC supports a wide range of mechanized and technology-driven industries due to its distinctive and abundantly qualified advanced manufacturing workforce, smart manufacturing practices, and access to emerging platform technologies offered via a concentration of mechanical engineering, instrumentation and fabrication experts. We expect to add 20,000 more family-wage jobs in the CIC over the next decade, helping residents work close to home and boosting our local economy.
