Parents of teens or tweens may want to tune into the local push to bring a UW campus to a site in Skagit County.
The state is searching for a site for a new University of Washington branch campus to serve Skagit, Snohomish and Island counties. Eight out of 70 proposed sites are in Skagit County.
Do you want a way for your kids to go to a university and live at home? Or would you perhaps prefer they move away? Either way, if you’d like to weigh in on the discussion, there will be another meeting at 7 p.m. today at McIntyre Hall, 2501 E. College Way in Mount Vernon. State officials have already held two public meetings locally, one in Burlington and the other in Stanwood.
For more information, click on news, and read Jennifer Carter’s story, “Skagit County lobbying hard for UW branch.”
A UW campus here at home?
