I have called here several times with agricultural related questions, only to be passed around, calls not be returned and out and out rude behavior. The office appears to be made up of elderly ladies who seem constantly confused, and completely lacking in professionalism. After several days of being passed around and not getting answers, I called the Snohomish office and was met with a high level of professionalism and got the answers and resources that I was looking for. The Skagit office is a waste of our tax dollars Our tax dollars pay for this with grants etc. If they cannot be of service to the community who pay their salaries, they should be shut down. This office is perfect example of government waste. read more

WSU Skagit County Extension is a fabulous, incredible, amazing opportunity for the public to learn all sorts of skills that will help them improve individually and in their own homes, as contributors to their neighborhoods, and as volunteers in the community at large. The homepage lists what they offer, go look at the variety! I took the Livestock Advisor Volunteer Program, it was one of the best things I've done in a long time. I don't have a farm or acreage or even a hen but I do have interest and desire to learn and the Livestock Advisors opened up a whole new world to me and I'm fascinated. The education through the extension is extremely affordable, it's really a blessing that we have the WSU Extension in Washington. Whether you're urban or rural, check out what WSU Extension offers and sign up. You'll meet interesting people, make valuable connections, and learning will be fun. Sign up. Get involved. read more
