Tulalip Tribes flag to fly at Marysville schools, as mascots change
MARYSVILLE — The day after school board directors adopted a new educational equity policy, high school student Tony Hatch raised the Tulalip Tribes’ killer whale flag above the school district’s buildings on 80th Street NE.
“It felt really good,” said Hatch, a senior at Marysville Pilchuck High School, on Thursday. “I felt like I was helping my people. Knowing that we have a piece of our side on this side (of the freeway) is really good and really fills my heart.”
Soon, the flag will fly at every Marysville school campus — and two schools have narrowed down mascots that will replace Native American symbols.
Outgoing school board directors shared their hopes for the district’s future Wednesday.
