Our New Office in Marysville is Open!

We celebrated the opening of our Marysville office with an Open House on June 29th.   Mayor Jon Nehring cut the ribbon and officially welcomed us to Marysville!
Though our office in Marysville is new, our presence in this community is not.  We have been working closely with the Marysville School District since the tragic school shooting on October 24, 2014 that left five students dead, one injured, and hundreds hurting.  Individual counseling, support groups and advocacy have been available to all members of the Marysville community since the day of the tragedy.  Our mental health therapists have provided individual counseling and support groups onsite at Marysville Pilchuck High School since November.  Individual counseling has also been offered onsite at Getchell High School and Arts & Tech High School, two schools in the district also impacted by the events of October 24th.
It was an honor to celebrate our new location with many partners in the Marysville community, including the School District, City, Police Department and Fire Department.  Thank you to everyone who came out to show support.  Without these strong partnerships, this important work could not be done.

Testimonials

"With the help of VSS, you are empowered and encouraged to fight back and be pro-active. Then your conscience can be more at peace because you know you have taken some action to protest crimes inflicted on your loved one. It is sometimes your only consolation."

“The one takeaway for me in working with VSS is that it is a necessary organization. I know they are funded by grants and fundraisers but it’s something we need to make sure as a community that they have the funding needed because what they do for people in need doesn’t happen anywhere else. This is the only place that this happens and VSS helps with so many things.”

David Rose

Anchor, Q13 News and Host, Washington’s Most Wanted

“VSS is there when the unthinkable happens.  When a police officer knocks on your door and gives you tragic news, VSS helps navigate the court system, which can be very confusing. VSS is compassion, caring, and commitment. Commitment to once justice is done that victims and their families can move forward with their lives.”

Jennifer Gregerson

Mayor, City of Mukilteo

“VSS has been our partner in recovery and healing and a key part in what makes Mukilteo Strong. VSS has been a trusted advocate for the victims that have suffered so much in the community.  I’m so grateful to VSS as our partner in strength.”

Jon Nehring

Mayor, City of Marysville

“VSS is there for people in their darkest hour. At a time when they need an advocate and friend, VSS steps in to fill that gap and help them begin their journey back to some sense of normalcy.” 

Myrle Carner

Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound

“This thing about closure. There is never really closure in a victim’s life but VSS helps individuals to get closer to that and that’s critical because the cops and the judicial system just move on to another case because they don’t have time. Victims live with this trauma forever so VSS is with them for as long as they need the services. VSS takes the time, more importantly, they really care."
