Northbound I-5 was blocked near Marysville after a man took his own life on the interstate on-ramp.

Marysville Police say they were alerted to a domestic dispute with a weapon in Everett on Friday, Dec. 3. On Saturday at around 11 a.m., officers attempted a traffic stop on a car associated with the domestic dispute.

Police turned on their lights to flag down the suspect car near 36th Avenue and 88th Street, and the driver turned onto the northbound I-5 on-ramp.

Authorities say the man got out of the car and used his gun to take his own life. Police note there was no car pursuit, and officers did not fire their weapons.

I-5 was blocked northbound for nearly an hour while authorities investigated the incident, but the road reopened around 11:50 a.m.
