EDASC Skagit Business Guide / 2018 3

LETTER FROM THE BOARD CHAIR I feel fortunate to have seen the impact economic development has had on the people and businesses in Skagit County. As EDASC Board Chair and President of Skagit Valley College, I participate, first-hand, in a dynamic strategic plan and important public-private partnerships.

It is inclusive and designed to serve all members of our community. As we know, ALL must have the opportunity to fully participate —economically, socially, culturally—for each of us to truly prosper.

I have had the privilege to be involved in building a bridge between business and education. This includes the Value-Added Agriculture Innovation Partnership Zone that led to the development of the College’s Cardinal Craft Brew Program and the expansion of the College’s Culinary Arts Program, featuring Artisan Baking, as well as the focus on advanced manufacturing involving industry leaders, such as Hexcel and Janicki Industries, who worked with the College to expand our educational programs. It is clear to me that EDASC, our Ports, Cities, County, educational institutions and private businesses are committed to a forward-thinking, sustainable, collaborative economic development model.

This continues to be an exciting time for the Economic Development Alliance of Tom Keegan Skagit County: We have a vision, we are EDASC Board Chair seeing results, and we are doing this President, important work in concert with many, many Skagit Valley College others. Quite simply, we couldn’t do this work without the continued support and investment of our public and private partners.

EDASC’s Strategic Plan establishes and articulates a vision for the future of economic development in Skagit County. Under the leadership of John Sternlicht, the plan was developed collaboratively with broad representation from the community.

If you are a current partner in our alliance—thank you! If you haven’t had the opportunity to take part yet—I encourage and urge you to join in on this important work as we pursue a strategic, sustainable, and inclusive approach to economic development.

Sincerely, Tom Keegan, Board Chair

LETTER FROM THE CEO Thanks to our dedicated board, staff, investors, volunteers, and partners, EDASC stands at the forefront of economic progress and sustainable growth in Skagit County. Our business attraction, retention and expansion, and community capacity building programs grow and evolve constantly. EDASC anticipates and gets ahead of trends that involve entire sectors and individual businesses, and the community as a whole, to make sure Skagit County is well-equipped for the future.

Successful economic development happens only through collaboration with public and private sectors, non-profits, and education, both K-12 and beyond. At EDASC we value working with private sector investors, our dedicated Chambers of Commerce, the cities and towns, and Skagit County. We are fortunate to have the Ports of Skagit and Anacortes as partners in economic development to work not only on supporting a beneficial business climate and infrastructure such as broadband, but also to work with existing and potential companies, making sure they are well-positioned for long-term viability. Value-added agriculture and maritime, two of our identified target sectors, provide significant opportunities for sustaining our economy into the future, and the Ports partner with EDASC daily in those efforts. Launching a destination marketing organization to bring more tourist dollars to Skagit County will fund some of those infrastructure projects and opportunities for our residents.

In conjunction with the EDASC Foundation and in close coordination with Skagit Valley College and local non-profit advocates, EDASC works to address important issues that impact significant parts of the local economy. By getting involved in workforce, early learning, career-connected learning, and STEM 4 EDASC Skagit Business Guide / 2018

projects, EDASC helps address both the critical need for skilled workers and the opportunities our residents need to prosper and support their families for decades to come. Overcoming the challenge of housing affordability, while primarily addressed by other John Sternlicht organizations, benefits from the CEO, EDASC involvement of economic development and the business community both in identifying the ramifications and in finding solutions. Similarly, issues of equity, inclusion, and public health, benefit from EDASC’s input to highlight the impacts on the economy, the business community, and the workforce.

Clearly, the most important aspect of EDASC is alliance.

Working with all sectors and partners to improve the climate and opportunities for all in Skagit County requires a vibrant and forward-thinking alliance. Our staff works every day towards these goals, but we could not succeed without you. We are ever-grateful for the support, collaboration, and investment from our private and public sector partners represented in this 2018 Skagit Business Guide. We look forward to a year of even greater progress in 2018, and wish you every success in the New Year as we all work together for our beloved community. Personally, I thank you all for the opportunity to serve in this role and look forward to wonderful things to come.

With warmest regards, John Sternlicht, CEO

FROM THE COVER:

Partnerships Enhance Local Agriculture Economy Governor Inslee visits the Craft Brew Academy, operated

by Skagit Valley College and located at the Port of Skagit.

Skagit County has many advantages that present opportunities in preserving our natural heritage and developing a diverse and sustainable economy. Local soils are among the best in the world and our climate is similar to Scotland, England, and Germany where farmers have been growing grain for bread since 700 BC. The ability to grow these grains for bread and beer is one of the explanations for the success of Western civilization in Europe.

How can we get local product to have value-added changes here?

Wheat, barley, and similar grass crops are currently part of the necessary rotation of crops needed to replenish the Skagit Valley soils. These grains are traditionally harvested and sold as feed for livestock or as commodity grain products. With the reduction in the

Grain is waiting at the Port of Skagit to be turned into whiskey, beer, bread, and other products. dairy industry in the valley, less than perfect weather for grain crops, and high costs of farmland, the profits have been marginal.

Sometimes the entire crop has been plowed under because the cost of harvesting exceeds the market value of the grain.

In October 2013, the Washington State Department of Commerce designated Skagit Valley as an Innovation Partnership Zone (IPZ), focused on value-added agriculture. The purpose of the IPZ is to facilitate partnerships to enhance the local agricultural industry, promoting innovative approaches that combine research and technology resulting in new jobs and a robust economy centered on the valley’s rich agricultural resources and heritage. Today, businesses such as Washington State University’s Bread Lab, Skagit Valley Malting, Gielow Pickles, Northwest Mills and Specialty Grains, Chuckanut Brewery, Flyers Restaurant and Brewhouse, Garden Path Brewery, King Arthur Flour, and many more contribute to the value-added agriculture sector at the Port of Skagit.

These partnerships enhance our local community, add significant value to crops, and present new business opportunities in the value-added agribusiness cluster.

Bringing leaders together

The opportunity to make an impact now

Leadership Skagit brings together individuals from Conway to Burlington, Concrete to Anacortes, to ensure that current and emerging leaders have the training and contacts necessary to step up as professionals in their field and into community leadership positions.

Committed to putting their know-how and skills to work, each participant is a member of a small team, dedicated to create and complete a service project. They have one goal: provide lasting benefit to the community. Within the team, they practice leadership skill development including communication, teamwork, conflict resolution, and motivating groups to achieve a goal. Leadership Skagit teams have completed more than 75 projects throughout the county in partnership with agencies such as Friendship House, Community Action and the Children’s Museum.

Learning about Skagit County The curriculum combines leadership skill development with in-depth information on topics important to the future of our region. Class members tour business facilities, get up close and personal with agriculture, non-profit services, tribes, school systems and innovative small businesses to study the critical issues that impact families, infrastructure and economic development.

Participants examine the issues facing Skagit County, the resources available to address these issues, and the opportunities for leadership involvement. This results in increased civic engagement and a deep understanding of our community challenges and potential.

Connecting with a network of leaders The Class of 2018 is connected to an extensive network of Leadership Skagit alumni. Demonstrating that community leadership is alive and thriving in Skagit County, graduates serve as leaders across a broad spectrum.

From the boards of the Skagit Valley YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and, of course, EDASC to elected offices such as county commissioner, city councilmember, county sheriff, county auditor, hospital commissioner, and school board member, Leadership Skagit grads bring a broad perspective to their work.

Leadership Skagit alumni continue to seek public office, including a dozen candidates for public office in 2017 alone. Without a doubt, these motivated leaders are fulfilling the program’s mission to provide new avenues for lasting benefit and stewardship to our county and communities.

Making a difference As Cory Ertel, Shell Puget Sound Refinery, Leadership Skagit Class of 2010 states, “I value the friendships I made, the leadership skills I learned and the knowledge I acquired about the many opportunities and challenges facing our extraordinary county. Above all, I value that Leadership Skagit instilled in me the desire to give back to my community.”

What began as a 1,500-mile pipeline is now a 4,000-mile bi-directional transmission system crossing the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado.

Northwest’s bi-directional system provides access to British Columbia, Alberta, Rocky Mountain and San Juan Basin gas supplies.

Northwest Pipeline has 1,309 miles of natural gas transmission pipeline in the state of Washington with 13 compressor stations.
