Historical Note

The Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Unit, an agricultural research facility of Washington State University, was established in 1947 at Mount Vernon, Washington. A "Memorandum of Understanding" between W.S.U. and the Governing Board of the Northwest Agricultural Research Foundation, representing local interests, organized the administration of the facility. Skagit County provided land and the initial experimental plantings for the unit which by 1968 encompassed about 70 acres of land for research plots and 12,000 square feet of greenhouse space, as well as laboratory facilities for the departments of Entomology, Plant Pathology, Agronomy, and Horticulture.
