She has enjoyed working with the Royalty this year while they have gone to festivals in towns like Port Townsend and Wenatchee.

“I think what I’ve enjoyed about being a part of the Royalty is just seeing all the places in Washington I’ve never seen before,” she said. “We get to see how all these small towns celebrate with their own traditions and festivals.”
As the summer continues she hopes to continue meeting with youth from around the state.
“As you get further into the parade schedule you meet with the same Royalty again and again and get to know each other,” said Gabriella.
She enjoys that she will get to be one of the faces for Marysville this year.
“One of the main reasons I wanted to be a part of the Royalty is so that I could represent my community,” she said. “Strawberry Festival has always been one of my favorite times of the year and it’s cool to be a part of it this year.”
Gabriella is a junior at Marysville Getchell High School.
“I’m involved in my school a lot with extracurriculars,” said Gabriella, including DECA, FBLA, ASB student
