When completed, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will be the most powerful space telescope ever built and will allow scientists to look farther into galaxies and planetary systems by collecting infrared measurements with the telescope’s instruments. Development of the telescope requires vibration testing to simulate different phases of liftoff and orbit and to verify workmanship. However, no facility exists that is large enough for NASA to perform such tests. As a result, Team Corporation was contracted by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to design and build such a system. Team has designed and is currently building two very large vibration test systems to shake the JWST horizontally and vertically. Together, these systems will help ensure a successful launch and operation of the JWST as it orbits earth nearly a million miles away. Skagit.org

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR By Don Wick, Executive Director
26 years ago, these words appeared in this column… “Recruiting business and assisting business requires the participation and cooperation of many groups and individuals. The recruitment of HEXCEL is a prime example. From a referral by ABC Yacht Charters to a HEXCEL Executive vacationing in Skagit County, to the leadership of the Port of Skagit County to the more than 20 groups & individuals that supported and cooperated with this effort, the success of the project required the work of many hands.” Cooperation was essential in drawing HEXCEL to the community 26 years ago, and it is essential to their expansion today. Economic Development is a collaborative endeavor, its success is achieved through the cooperation and support of many organizations and individuals.
Together we have all been successful in attracting and assisting businesses that provide quality jobs. The value of a job is vital to individuals, to families, and vital to the health of our whole county – it helps the entire community reap the rewards of what a living wage job can provide.
DON WICK Executive Director, EDASC
Thank you all for the partnerships and support over these many years to create quality jobs in our community. A debt of gratitude is owed to all of our dedicated, committed and unselfish partners. Thank you to all entities of government, educational institutions, non-profit agencies, private sector members, our Board, committee members and many others for your great cooperation, collaboration and support to improve the lives of so many people in our community.
As Hellen Keller once observed, “Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.”

We facilitated a series of workshops for the new farmers participating at both of these programs in business planning. These sessions covered not only general business planning but also agricultural specific issues such as taxation, grants, insurance, lending programs and cooperative ownership models.
EDASC FOUNDATION The EDASC Foundation was established by EDASC to develop, implement and fund innovative research and education programs in cooperation with the institutions of higher education, private business and other interested parties. Currently the EDASC Foundation is the governing entity for Leadership Skagit, a partnership with Skagit Valley College and Washington State University, and provides leadership to build a coalition on the issue of early learning in the community to strengthen our future workforce.
LEADERSHIP SKAGIT Leadership Skagit, founded by the Economic Development Association of Skagit County, Skagit Valley College and Washington State University, is operated under the governance of the EDASC Foundation. The program’s mission is to strengthen and transform our communities by developing a network of business and community leadership that is informed, inclusive and connected through shared learning experiences. The 9-month course culminates with the presentation of a community project that demonstrates leadership objectives.
Skagit Regional Health, which includes Skagit Valley Hospital and grew to 11 Skagit Regional Clinics locations in 2014, remains on a pattern of growth to meet the health care needs of the communities of Skagit, Island and north Snohomish counties.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT and hospital leaders officially welcomed PeaceHealth United General Medical Center as part of PeaceHealth’s Northwest Network. The hospital began affiliating with PeaceHealth in 2009 to provide specialty services on its campus in Sedro-Woolley. In the fall of 2011, following multiple community forums, Public Hospital District (PHD) #304 commissioners and PeaceHealth boards approved an alliance that would ensure District ownership of facilities, with PeaceHealth management of clinical services. Under the alliance the Hospital District retains ownership of the land and United General Hospital facilities, leasing them under a long term lease to PeaceHealth. Health care operations will be turned over to PeaceHealth pursuant to an operating agreement in order to achieve economies of skill and scale, and reduce cost while improving access and quality. PeaceHealth United General Medical Center currently employs about 280 workers, with an additional 20 workers at the Hospital District offices.
EDUCATION Skagit Valley College Skagit Valley College completed a master facilities plan in 2014. The plan calls for development of the campus over two major phases; the 15-year Development Plan and the Longrange Development Plan (LRDP). The LRDP is a 30-year, longrange vision for the transformation of the SVC Mount Vernon Campus. The master planning consultant team worked with SVC faculty and staff to guide the creation of the master plan. Renovation of Roberts Hall and replacement of the Diesel Building are prescribed as a way to address both the aging buildings and the trades programs’ growth. The Diesel Building would be replaced with a new 55,000 GSF Trades Building. This building would also allow for consolidation of the functions currently housed in the Fire Station and Maintenance Building. The demand for these trades programs is growing rapidly, and there is a demonstrated need for additional classroom spaces, student collaboration spaces and technical program areas. Another consolidation and replacement project is proposed for Ford Hall, Cole Library and the Administration Annex. These buildings would be replaced with a 56,300 GSF Multipurpose Classroom and Library Building which also contains administrative offices. By constructing a new facility the College would be able to address existing buildings which are rated as having 5-15 years of remaining useful life while adding increased functionality and student amenity space. This building would also serve as a significant building, marking the main entrance to campus from the east parking lot. The last grouping of projects proposed in the 15-year Development Plan is on the east side of campus near the athletic fields. A Field Support Facility is proposed to support the ball fields with restrooms, locker rooms, offices and concessions. In addition, practice and training facilities currently Skagit.org
in the existing field house would be replaced in this new facility. Locating the new field house adjacent to the ball fields would allow for direct coaches’ supervision and ideal alignment with future growth of athletic amenities in this area. Relocation of the downtown Mount Vernon YMCA to the campus has been discussed as an opportunity for a partnership between the College and the YMCA. A Potential Recreation Center near the ball fields and tennis courts would further reinforce the identity of this area as an athletic zone. This type of development would have a net benefit for both the community and the campus. Finally a 4,500 - 6,000 GSF Child Care Center is proposed along SVC’s eastern property line. The location would accommodate constructing it on the existing campus, as the first project of the 15-year Development Plan. It would be located to ensure the small building fits in with the scale of the larger recreational buildings that may follow. The siting of the building would optimize access, security and solar orientation.
Northwest Career & Technical Academy This year, the Northwest Career & Technical Academy (NCTA) offered more classes at both its Skagit and Whatcom facilities, including a manufacturing class in Skagit. The NCTA has also increased its summer program offerings, including a session in each county. Enrollment in some of the programs, like the construction program taught at the Bellingham campus, has increased. Most students attend year-long programs either a morning or afternoon session equivalent to three consecutive high school periods daily. A variety of classes will offer a blended delivery model similar to Running Start, where high school and college learners will be receiving instruction simultaneously. The Academy is tuition free for high school students however; some programs may have industry related costs/lab fees. Current Programs: • Aerospace Manufacturing • Computer Security & Support • Construction • Criminal Justice & Public Safety • Culinary Arts • Dental Technology • DigiPen Video Game Programming • Healthcare Careers • Marine Technology • Medical Assisting Careers • Money & Business • Sustainable Engineering • Tourism & Hospitality • Veterinary Assistant • Welding • Wild Washington NCTA is available to all students in Skagit & Whatcom Counties, and both Skagit Valley College and Whatcom Community College students can also use facilities and programs.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT This year, NCTA also became a host site for the USDA summer lunch program, meaning kids under the age of 18 were able to get free meals at NCTA. The NCTA has several business partners. There is a branch of North Coast Credit Union on our Mount Vernon campus. The Culinary program is run by Sodexo, and DigiPen Institute of Technology provides the curriculum for their Video Game Programming program.
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT City of Burlington The City of Burlington has a number of projects that will improve its transportation, storm water, multi-modal, fiber network, and sewer treatment infrastructure. These projects include: Transportation Connect Burlington Boulevard traffic signals to the city fiber optic network, upgrade signal controls and software, install traffic sensors at major intersections, reconstruct/realign intersections, and repave areas in the commercial core. This $2.4 Million project will be complete in February of 2015 and will allow adjustable signal timing (both automatic and traffic engineer initiated) to rapidly respond to traffic demands, maximizing the efficiency of traffic flow on Burlington’s most heavily traveled corridor. Redesign the 5-way intersection located at Fairhaven Avenue and Cherry Street/Cascade Highway into a more efficient, safe and pedestrian friendly intersection located at the center of Burlington’s increasingly vibrant historic downtown. Design to be complete by spring of 2015. Construction (funding dependent) is anticipated for 2015/2016. Design complete street and utility reconstruction for Rio Vista Avenue between Section Street and Gardner Road. Construction is fully funded and scheduled for summer of 2015. Construct a 10–foot wide non-motorized trail between Burlington Boulevard and Goldenrod Road along Gages Slough. Construction is funded and scheduled to begin March of 2015. Repave Goldenrod Road and Bouslog Road (completed in 2014), and restripe (2015) to extend network of bike/ pedestrian paths in Burlington. Design additional public parking in the historic business district (behind Stowes, southeast of the intersection of Spruce Street and Fairhaven Avenue). Construction is slated for 2015/2016. Communication/Fiber/Tourism Enhancements: Provide private business access to city fiber optic network, recruit internet service providers to provide data/ communication services to businesses, and facilitate system connections (completed in 2014). Expand fiber optic system to underserved commercially/industrially zoned neighborhoods (funded in 2015). Note: Inquiries regarding access to the City of Burlington fiber optic network can be sent to 14 EDASC Member Services Guide / 2015
fiber@burlingtonwa.gov or via the webpage at http://www. burlingtonwa.gov/index.aspx?NID=523 Establish Free City Wi-Fi along Burlington Boulevard and in Skagit River Park, to serve the information needs of shoppers, visitors, and soccer and Frisbee tournament participants and fans, directing all of them to the city maintained website http://www.ShopBurlingtonWa.com/ to view opportunities to shop/dine/visit/recreate and stay in Burlington and Skagit County. Funded (anticipated completion date June 2015). Fund the operation of the new Burlington Chamber of Commerce visitors information center located at 520 E. Fairhaven Avenue, which has tripled visitation in the last two years. They are currently assisting more than 12,000 Burlington visitors annually.
Town of Concrete Town of Concrete will complete its new Fire and Life Safety Building by the end of Q2 2015. Construction of the building, which will replace its 100-year-old predecessor, was funded via a state capital budget appropriation of $785,000 and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding of $1 million. Street projects planned for 2015 include sidewalk, curb, and gutter installation on west Main Street and Cedar Street. The second-to-last section of wooden water line in town was replaced in December 2014. Excess stormwater infiltration in the town’s wastewater system is being identified; the town should be able to begin repairs and decommission its sewer lagoon in 2015. Mayor Jason Miller, who took office Jan. 1, 2014, formed an Economic Development Task Force in June 2014. The group has been analyzing the economic opportunities and challenges facing Concrete and other Upper Valley communities. Imagine Concrete Foundation encountered too many road blocks to securing $40,000 to install a new roof on the town’s historic Superior Building; the organization is now investigating a less-costly lightweight concrete pour over the existing flat concrete roof, which should halt the building’s deterioration for the time being. After receiving a $13,800 USDA Rural Development grant for its Angele Cupples Community Garden, the town hosted 30 USDA representatives in September 2014, prompting its director to characterize the garden as “like nothing I’ve seen anywhere in Washington.” The town continues to seek funding for a planned reroute of Lorenzen Creek, which will daylight several hundred feet of the creek, remove the threat of flooding for more than a dozen residences, create an amenity as it passes through Silo Park, and improve salmon habitat.
Town of La Conner The Town of La Conner has a diverse number of projects in process and planned. They are completing their last section of the Boardwalk (over 1,300 linear feet in total) along the
2014 ANNUAL REPORT Swinomish Channel. This includes three street end parks. In 2015, they will begin their Conner Waterfront Park project beneath the Rainbow Bridge which includes a salmon slide children’s play area, family picnic areas, kayak access and connection to the upland Pioneer Park. On the environment and energy front, the Town is working with Kevin Maas to install a 15,000 watt Community Solar Project on Maple Hall which will add to the existing 10,000 watt solar installations on the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Town has an educational kiosk at the Wastewater Treatment Plant with a computer display for school children and the public to learn more about how solar-electric generation works and historical information on the projects energy production. In 2014, the Town of La Conner concluded a three-year program supporting a WSU graduate student to do research for her doctoral thesis on compost produced from the La Conner wastewater treatment plant bio-solids. The research and subsequent publications provided great insights into the role and use of compost in rebuilding depleted agricultural soils and possibly improving yields of valuable seed crops.
City of Mount Vernon A new era for downtown Mount Vernon began in fall of 2014 with the completion of Phase II of the Waterfront Revitalization and Flood Protection Project, which includes a 24-foot wide pedestrian river walk, a 30,000 square foot Riverfront Park and permanent downtown flood protection. Phase II was funded with the assistance of key partners: the State of Washington, through the State Capital Budget; Recreation Conservation Office (RCO); State Department of Ecology (DOE); Skagit County Dike District #3; Skagit County; and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Section 108 Loan Program. Funding is being sought for the final phase, which will complete the project. Once funding is secured, Phase III will include 1.2 miles of floodwall and earthen levee, .9 miles of river walk and trail connection to a regional trail system. Completion of Phase III will also result in FEMA certified flood protection for the historic downtown. The project is part of a comprehensive redevelopment plan for Mount Vernon’s historic downtown area that is being used to guide public and private investments over the next 20 years. Construction of Phase III is expected to start in early 2015. The City of Mount Vernon highlighted its fiber optic infrastructure and growing technology sector with 2 high profile events. In partnership with Skagit Valley College and EDASC, the City welcomed John Cook, of Geekwire as a headline speaker for a NextTech event in February. In October, the Connect With The World technology event attracted 120 public and private sector folks from all over the state. Event speakers included Susannah Malarkey, the Executive Director of the Technology Alliance (TA), a statewide organization of leaders from technology businesses; Christopher Mitchell, Director of the Telecommunications as Commons Initiative Skagit.org
with the Institute for Local Self-Reliance; Craig Settles, a municipal broadband expert for journalists at CNN, the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Time Magazine and a host of business; and Mark Anderson, selected by FORTUNE as one of the “100 Smartest People We Know,” Mark Anderson has earned an international reputation for his contributions in areas as diverse as technology, education, computing, economics, genetics, physics, and medicine. Like any successful company, Mount Vernon strives to be on the cutting edge to market its products and services. When companies or residents look at locating in Mount Vernon, they look at the community as a whole: schools, parks, housing, public safety, medical care and community pride. Our goal is to collectively market our product, Mount Vernon, to maintain a healthy and vibrant community.
City of Sedro-Woolley The City of Sedro-Woolley has completed the two-year SR20/ Cook Road Realignment and Extension Project, a major part of the city’s multi-phase SR 20 Corridor Freight Mobility and Revitalization Project. The project involved major roadway improvements to SR20 from SR9 to F&S Grade Road and on Cook Road and Ferry Street, and a new city arterial named Edward R. Murrow Street, and included new roundabout intersections at SR20 and Cook Road and at Cook Road and West Ferry Street, pedestrian and bicycle facilities throughout the project, signal improvements at SR20/SR9 and SR20/Ferry, improved access to the Skagit Industrial Park, upgrade of the water main in Cook Road and Western Street, and a Skagit Transit Bus Transfer and Park & Ride facility on Western Street. Major utility relocations to allow construction of the new facilities were completed by Puget Sound Energy, Cascade Natural Gas, Frontier Communications, Comcast and Blackrock Cable. PSE Intolight designed and installed new LED street lighting as part of the project. Strider Construction Co. Inc of Bellingham was the prime contractor for the $3.9 million project construction contract. David Evans & Associates of Bellevue, WA was the design consultant and provided construction management services under city oversight. Construction phase funding for the core of the project was secured from the Transportation Improvement Board (TIB), which distributes $0.03/gallon of the state gasoline tax revenue statewide for local arterial projects. Funding totaled $7,664,770, including $625,000 STP-R federal funds through the Skagit Council of Governments for the design phase, $3,907,455 TIB Urban Arterial Program funds, $273,781 TIB Urban Sidewalk Program funds, $507,987 city funds ($409,501 cash from GMA Impact Fee Fund and $109,468 ROW donation), $132,154 Skagit Transit funds, $153,110 PUD No. 1 Funds, $1,640,000 right of way donation from WSDOT and a $142,842 right of way donation from SeaLand Development Corporation. WSDOT also contributed $40,000 for a special scoping study. The city is also remodeled Bingham Park in conjunction with the main project utilizing local funds totaling $231,459. Bingham Park improvements included new EDASC Member Services Guide / 2015 15
2014 ANNUAL REPORT roadways, drainage, site grading, sidewalks, an RV facility, and a new playground. The City of Sedro-Woolley held a ribbon cutting for the project on September 3, 2014, attended by State Senator Kirk Pearson, Commissioner Sharon Dillon, Mayor Mike Anderson, WSDOT representatives, council members, city staff, design consultant David Evans & Associates and members of the public.
Port of Anacortes The Port of Anacortes reported yet another record year in 2014. Jobs on Port of Anacortes property increased 12% over the same period in 2013 to a summer record high of 1,066 full-time jobs, and a new record of 53 tenants on Port property. The Cap Sante Marina, the second most active public marina in the state, set record guest boat moorage for the third consecutive year with 16,157 guest nights and counting as of December 1st, 2014, up 14% over 2013. The marina hosted 42 boating rendezvous groups in 2014, compared to 34 groups in 2013. The Port’s marine terminal exported over 325,000 tons of bulk products. The Port, in cooperation with the Department of Ecology, wrapped up a $1.5 million project to turn 3/4 acre of waterfront property to “waters of the state” to mitigate for improvements to the Dakota Creek Industries (DCI) shipyard property in 2009. In October, the Port broke ground on yet another environmental cleanup project of a former fuel tank farm which is now Port property. In December, the Port completed a Purchase & Sale Agreement for an entire city block adjacent to the Marine Terminal, which included the historic Marine Supply & Hardware buildings. The Port will retain the historic structures and use the remainder of the property for Marine Terminal support and future facility expansion.
Port of Skagit The Port of Skagit owns and operates three primary facilities: Skagit Regional Airport, Bayview Business Park and the La Conner Marina. Combined, these properties are home to 83 businesses that support nearly 1,200 direct jobs with an annual payroll of approximately $48 million, according to an economic impact analysis completed in 2014. The Port made several key infrastructure investments during 2014. Remodeling of a port-owned building in the Bayview Business Park allowed Gielow Pickles Inc. to establish a vegetable processing facility that began producing pickles and sauerkraut in the fall of 2014. The Port also purchased a 40,000-square-foot manufacturing building in the business park from Nordic Tug and began making improvements that will prepare it for a new tenant. At the marina, the Port also took delivery of a new, higher capacity boat lift. The Travelift BFMII can handle larger vessels produced by the three boat manufacturers located at the marina. Additionally, the Port embarked on a maintenance project to improve the docks in the marina’s South Basin.

With urging from the Port of Skagit and others, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completed dredging of the southern entrance to the Swinomish Channel in October 2014. The project ensured safe passage for boat traffic in the channel, which helps to support more than 500 jobs. Many of those jobs are located at the Port’s La Conner Marina.
Skagit PUD Skagit Public Utility District began installing 6,125 feet of new 8-inch pipeline on Old Day Creek Road from “B” Street in Clear Lake to Timber Lane in late fall 2014. The project involved removing the existing 6-inch diameter asbestos cement water main from service and installing new 8-inch ductile iron pipe. Work also included the installation of new service lines to each property meter, new fire hydrants, a mainline meter, a mainline pressure-reducing valve, and asphalt paving. The water main along Old Day Creek Road, which is nearly 50-years old and no longer meets current capacity or flow requirements, was due for replacement. The project will improve system reliability and a create a redundant source of water to Clear Lake area homes by allowing water to be supplied from two different connections to the District’s water transmission line. The $867,000 construction project was awarded to SRV Construction, Inc. and work was completed late in 2014. In August, Skagit PUD installed a redesigned intake screen at Gilligan Creek, which required damming the creek and pumping water around the work area. The new 12 foot x 5 foot screen has narrow 1/8 inch openings and is sloped so debris can easily be carried away with the stream flow. The project totaled $230,000 and should easily pay for itself over time through reduced power costs associated with pumping water at the Skagit River Diversion. Skagit PUD is pushing ahead with plans to replace its undersized 1 million gallon steel storage reservoir on East Division Street in Mount Vernon with a new 6 million gallon concrete reservoir. Survey work, underground utility locating and soil assessment got underway in December. Every six years the PUD is required to update its Water System Plan. Among other things, the plan identifies critical, large and small scale projects of high importance. This project has been carried over since 2007 and it addresses a reservoir storage deficiency in the zone serving the bulk of the Mount Vernon and south Mount Vernon service areas. Funding for the project comes from the Washington State Public Works Trust Fund and the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund. Total project cost estimates are $10 million.
Schmooze Cruise Celebrates National Manufacturing Day By Hilary Parker Skagit County is steadily growing its manufacturing sector in a collaborative effort with local, state and federal government agencies, business and education leaders, chambers of commerce, and non-profits. EDASC has a track record of success in attracting businesses of all kinds to Skagit County as our area appeals to families for a variety of reasons, including good schools and multiple opportunities for outdoor recreation. Skagit County attracts industry because of its proximity to the interstate, rail lines and waterways, as well as a diverse workforce. “EDASC’s mission is focused on enhancing Skagit County’s quality of life through the creation and preservation of healthy businesses and good jobs,” said EDASC Executive Director Don Wick. One of the more recent additions to EDASC’s recruitment toolbox is the Schmooze Cruise, a tour of select manufacturers throughout the county, which took place on Oct. 3, 2014 in conjunction with National Manufacturing Day. Showcasing these outstanding manufacturers with Schmooze Cruise as a part of National Manufacturing Day highlighted the strengths of this community to other companies looking to expand and relocate their businesses to Skagit County. Additionally, this manufacturer tour highlighted the vital connection between businesses and the families they support. This year, eight companies were featured on the tour, ranging from small business to big industry. On the tour were Janicki Industries, Shell Puget Sound Refinery, Dimensional Communications, Hexcel, PACCAR Technical Center, Fairhaven Organic Flour Mills, Skagit Publishing and Deception Distilling. “The manufacturers we have in the county are similar to leading manufacturers around the world,” notes Steve Sexton, mayor of the City of Burlington. Skagit.org
One of those leading manufacturers is Hexcel Corporation, which expanded into Skagit in 1990. “If it flies, we probably make parts for it,” Hexcel’s Tom Carron told a tour group. The plant manufactures honeycomb “core” material that goes into the construction of aircraft parts, from wing assemblies to engine insulation. Construction has been completed on a new building at its facility at the Port of Skagit to house an autoclave, which will allow the plant to produce carbon fiber parts. A more recent addition to Skagit County’s manufacturing lineup, Fairhaven Organic Flour Mills, moved to Burlington from a neighboring county in 2010. “Burlington was centrally located to our customer base,” said mill owner Kevin Christenson, explaining why he chose Skagit County. The mill’s new, larger location is just off the interstate and closer to many customers who drive from the Seattle-metro area to pick up the highquality flour Christenson produces. Christenson’s small shop employs just two full-time and two part-time people, but other county manufacturers employ large numbers of residents. Homegrown Janicki Industries started out 20 years ago with just one em-
ployee, founder Peter Janicki. Today, the company, which designs and builds highprecision tooling for aerospace, marine, wind energy and transportation customers, has grown to 700 employees with two plants in Skagit County and another in Utah. EDASC’s focus on bringing living-wage jobs to the county is paying off, as evidenced by recent employment numbers. The manufacturing sector represents about 13% of the county’s employment base, and has seen job growth of 16% over the past year. General nonfarm job growth in the county is just 4.5%. Those jobs, and the products those employees create, have a ripple effect that positively effects the county’s economy. “Sell products outside your service area and you add additional wealth to your community,” Wick said. Local governments have been eager to facilitate expansion and relocation efforts for manufacturers interested in calling Skagit County home. Municipalities have an inventory of commercial and industrial properties and are responsive to expediting permitting requests. Many also have installed fiber optic networks adding efficiency and security for businesses.

Leadership On A Mission! Leadership Skagit is a leadership development program on a mission. That mission is to strengthen and transform our local communities by developing an ongoing resource of community minded leaders. The first class was launched in 2003 and set the bar high with dedication, energy and innovation as the expected hallmarks of Leadership Skagit graduates. By June of 2015 over 350 graduates will be blending a heightened commitment to community service with the advancement of their professional careers. The Leadership Skagit Program is a partnership of the Economic Development Association of Skagit County Foundation, Skagit Valley College and Washington State University Extension. As a past winner of the Governor’s Leadership Award, and membership in the WSU Extension “Hall of Champions”, Leadership Skagit is no stranger to recognition. Considered by many as an innovative example of an alumni-driven program, it gains attention at the Association of Leadership Program’s bi-annual conferences and has been asked to share its curriculum with programs as distant as Australia. So, how does the magic happen? It starts by breaking down the barriers between sectors, backgrounds, professions, age and experience. The program brings together individuals from industry, business, education, non-profit and government. With participants from Conway to Burlington, Sedro-Woolley to Anacortes, its goal is to ensure that emerging leaders have the training and contacts necessary to step into community leadership positions. It also provides opportunities for current leaders from the private, public and non-profit sectors to sharpen and share their skills. Each
The Leadership Skagit Class of 2015 year Leadership Skagit selects up to 35 current and emerging leaders from throughout Skagit County to participate in its intensive 9-month training program.

NextExec: Homegrown Skagit Business Leaders By Hilary Parker
in business I often wished I had someone to talk to,” Fisher said.
Skagit County is known for the products it produces: from agriculture to aerospace, the county has a reputation for excellence.
He encourages current and future NextExec associates to take advantage of the mentorship opportunity, adding that the mentors are eager to share what they know.
Some of the county’s most successful products are its business leaders, and EDASC’s NextExec program is designed to bolster the success of Skagit’s next generation of business executives. EDASC partners with the chambers of commerce throughout Skagit County to provide networking, mentoring and professional development to existing and emerging leaders in a wide array of industries. The group is part professional development program and part social network. Meetings take place on a quarterly basis, each on a Friday at lunchtime. Lunch is paired with a guest speaker or panel discussion then is followed by a tour of a local manufacturer. “NextExec brings people together across professions and from across the Skagit Valley,” explains Josh Baldwin of Quantum Construction, one of the founding associate (young professional) members of the group. Based out of his Anacortes office and involved in boards and service groups around the city, Baldwin said he appreciates the opportunity NextExec gives him to connect with peers from around the county. “There are probably a dozen people I wouldn’t see anywhere else,” he said. NextExec started nearly two years ago, said Chad Fisher of Chad Fisher Construction, who serves as a mentor for the program. Fisher’s son Duke came to EDASC with the idea after working with a contractors’ group in Montana that had a similar kind of mentoring program. Soon after, the NextExec program was born. Chad Fisher sees value for NextExec associates in the availability of mentors like himself. “When I was first Skagit.org
Fisher also recognizes the importance for young professionals to have the opportunity to discuss the challenges they run across as they step into leadership roles. That’s something Baldwin echoes as well. “Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one in my circle of influence that’s under 45 or 50,” Baldwin said. “It’s good to connect with people my age on a personal level.” One of the benefits Baldwin sees from the program is an avenue for the next generation of county leaders to get to know each other and carry on the synergy that our current leaders, people such as Skagit Bank’s Cheryl Bishop and EDASC’s Don Wick, have worked so hard to create. “EDASC and NextExec are setting up the Valley for a successful future economic outlook,” Baldwin said.

excel Corporation is a leading advanced composites company. It develops, manufactures and markets lightweight, high-performance structural materials, including carbon fibers, reinforcements for composites, prepregs, honeycomb, matrix systems, adhesives and composite structures, used in commercial aerospace, space and defense and industrial applications. In 1946, two young Navy engineers – Roger C. Steele and Roscoe T. “Bud” Hughes – with more enthusiasm than experience, start up a company they call California Reinforced Plastics in Hughes’
cramped basement workshop in Lafayette, California with $519. After a couple of years of investigating, inventing, and innovating Steele and Hughes incorporated the company in September 1948, marking the official beginning of what is later known as Hexcel Corporation. Today, Hexcel is at the heart of many advanced composite products and applications. The company has been at the forefront of composites technology,

Being a locally owned, community-based bank, SaviBank provides smart financial advice and services to families as well as small businesses.

he Shell Puget Sound Refinery is the second largest of four refineries located in Northern Puget Sound in Northwest Washington State. It is the second of two refineries located on March Point and the one you notice on Highway 20 as you drive onto Fidalgo Island. The refinery was built to supply West Coast markets with petroleum products refined from primarily Canadian and Alaska North Slope crude oil. The key products of the Shell Puget Sound Refinery include gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, a highgrade petroleum coke used in the aluminum business and some
specialty petro-chemicals. Safety, health and environmental protection are the highest priorities for the refinery. Located in the pristine waters of Northern Puget Sound and at the gateway to the spectacular San Juan Islands, protection of the environment is a primary concern. More than 430 people are directly employed at the refinery with another one to two hundred contractors on site regularly. Our employees
are proud to work and live in the Skagit Valley and you will see them out regularly volunteering both in support of Refinery supported events, like the Anacortes Waterfront Festival, and their own individual endeavors. The Refinery, in turn, often supports them with monetary contributions to the non-profit organizations they support. Look for us at a community event or parade in your area and stop to say hello!
Our plant runs 24/7, but our visitors appreciate a friendly pillow at the end of the day With over 430 employees and a long history, the Shell Puget Sound Refinery is at the heart of the local economy and that means we have a responsibility to partner with local businesses big and small. In a typical year we will use over 75 local firms and spend over $125 Million. The Majestic Inn & Spa in Anacortes is a favorite of Shell visitors and we’re proud to salute them on their recent expansion.

Skagit County elected officials have worked hard over the years to provide good stewardship to preserve our rural lifestyle, provide opportunity for family wage jobs and protect the environment. Tourist opportunities
abound. As the gateway to the world-famous San Juan Islands, the inland sea of Puget Sound provides a recreational wonderland for kayakers, boaters, fishers and beachcombers.

MOUNT VERNON — The number of flu cases in Skagit County has been steadily climbing throughout the months of December and January. Although last week’s number decreased slightly, the peak of the season is yet to come, said Sandi Paciotti, communicable disease manager for the county. The county had 15 reported flu cases the week of Jan. 6, after taking a big jump up to 29 in early January. The number is pretty typical, Paciotti said, and the number of cases usually peaks in February. The county is getting reports of increasing Influenza “A” strains, which are H3N2 or H1N1, commonly known as the swine flu. The county is seeing a 25 percent positive rate in diagnosed cases, it said in a news release. Both strains are included in this season’s flu vaccine, Paciotti said. County officials encourage everyone over 6 months old to get a shot now. Washington has attributed 11 deaths to the flu this season, the state Department of Health has reported.

The Northern State site features a 227-acre state-owned portion holding the state’s former mental hospital and a 726-acre parcel of county-owned park land. By MARK STAYTON @Mark_SVH
the site’s historical significance, recreation opportunities, environment and neighbors, said Patsy Martin, executive director of the Port of Skagit. Eron Berg, Sedro-Woolley city super supervisor and attorney, said he would eventually like to see the site become an economic engine for eastern Skagit County and provide tax revenue for the city. “We’re looking to see what are the attributes of the site, what does the community want to see at the site, and who’s out there who might want to suit those needs … ” Berg said. “There’s a lot of potential for doing more on the site. Office space, an IT (information technology) campus, sustainable agriculture.
I look at it like an old building down downtown that’s underutilized.” The site is currently held in two separate parcels, each with its own restrictions and considerations that have thwarted past plans for development. The former Northern State campus, where a mental hospital operated from 1909 to 1973, is owned by the state Department of Enterprise Services. The 227-acre former hospital plot still features many of the original Spanish Colonial Revival-style buildings and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

SEDRO-WOOLLEY — Three public entities have joined to investigate the economic opportunities of allowing development on the 953-acre Northern State Hospital site just east of SedroWoolley’s city limits. On Monday, the Skagit County commissioners were the last to sign an interlocal agreement for a large-scale site review involving the city of SedroWoolley and the Port of Skagit. The goal is to see what possibilities Northern State might hold for future private development while protecting

From design concept to finished product, we’re here for you every step of the way! By RICARDO ALONSO-ZALDIVAR Associated Press
WASHINGTON — It’s an older, costlier crowd that’s signing up so far for health insurance under President Barack Obama’s law, according to government figures released Monday. Enrollments are lower for the healthy, younger Americans who will be needed to keep premiums from rising. Young adults from 18 to 34 are only 24 percent of total enrollment, the administration said in its first signup figures broken down for age, gender and other details. With the HealthCare.gov website now working, the figures cover the more than 2 million Americans who had signed up for government-subsidized private insurance through the end of December in new federal and state markets. Enrolling young and healthy people is important because they generally pay more into the system than they take out, subsidizing older adults. While 24 percent is not a bad start, say independent
ic don’t fully cover their medical expenses. Some are in the waiting room for Medicare; that coverage starts at age 65. Some questions remained unanswered. For example, the administration is unable to say how of many of those enrolling for coverage had been previously uninsured. Some might have been among the more than 4.7 million insured people whose previous policies were canceled because they didn’t meet the law’s standards. “The uninsured folks for whom the law was intended don’t seem to have signed up in nearly as high numbers,” said Richard Foster, a former statistics chief for the Health and Human Services department. “There is still a huge unknown aspect to this.” But even if the age mix remains tilted toward older adults, “it’s nothing of the sort that would trigger instability in the system,” said Larry Levitt, an insurance expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation.
Bill would phase out pensions for state workers The Associated Press
SEATTLE — A state lawmaker wants to offer a $10,000 incentive to state employees who agree to move away from the state pension system into a 401(k)-style retirement package. Sen. Doug Ericksen’s proposal comes after Boeing’s successful campaign in recent weeks to pressure Machinists into surrendering their traditional pensions. The Republican from Ferndale plans to introduce legislation Monday that would end pensions for new state hires while offering the incentive to current workers. “If it’s good enough for Boeing, it should be good enough for the employees of Washington state,” Ericksen told The Seattle Times. His plan would end pensions for new state hires in addition to offering the incentive to current workers. It would apply only to workers in the state’s Public

Employees Retirement System (PERS). Other public employees such as teachers and state patrol officers have separate pension plans that would not be affected. State lawmakers, however, would be affected. Legislation to curtail public pensions is unlikely to pass in the 60-day legislative session that began Monday, the newspaper reported. Top Democrats say the state pension system is in good shape, and that they’ll oppose any move to end pensions. Gov. Jay Inslee said he’d oppose efforts to go after public pensions. But Ericksen and others argue that the Boeing deal — which prominent Democrats including Inslee pushed Machinists to vote on — should stir a long-term debate on the state’s own benefit offerings.

Team Corporation was established by Vernon Tauscher in 1954 as “Tauscher Engineering and Manufacturing”. Mr. Tauscher had devised a unique servohydraulic actuator system that showed considerable promise in improving the fledgling vibration testing industry. From these humble beginnings in a small machine shop in South El Monte California, Team Corporation has grown to become a name recognized throughout the world for cutting edge vibration test system design and fabrication. In 1993, Team Corporation moved to Skagit County from California for expanded economic opportunity and for their employees to enjoy the natural beauty and great communities in the area. The EDASC was instrumental in helping Team Corporation make the move. Until recently, Team Corporation was under the leadership of Vernon’s son Robert Tauscher. In 2013, The Lansmont Company acquired majority ownership and Mr. David Huntley became president. He has initiated the significant expansion underway today that will be completed early in summer 2015. Team Corporation was, is and will remain focused solely on the vibration Skagit.org

Automotive Between changing government regulations, consumer demand, and an industry driven by evolution; the automotive industry has spurred development and made excellent use of Team Corporation’s vibration test equipment. The need to improve reliability and functionality of entire vehicles, as well as major subassemblies such as the Instrument Panel, has led to the creation of multi-axis test systems capable of accurately reproducing recorded road data, torsional systems to determine fatigue characteristics of axle, and crankshaft assemblies and systems to emulate operating engine performance in the test lab.
Aerospace The Aerospace market has been a major and long-time customer; their need for sophisticated and highly functional vibration test equipment has been met by Team Corporation time and again. One example of a custom system design built for the Aerospace market is the NASA Plum Brook Mechanical Vibration Facility, the largest vibration test system in the world.

Vibration Test System for NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope
The Department of Defense (DOD) has been an important client to Team Corporation for many decades. One of the unique designs produced for the DOD is the Large Vibration Test System installed at Picatinny Test Center. This system allows the testing of very long and massive PHT&S canisters used for munitions.
Oil Field The oil industry requires tools that must withstand external pressure, long duration high levels of vibration, severe transient impacts and rugged transportation loading, which places stress on delicate instrumentation. Team Corporation has built and supplied the oilfield market with vibration systems designed to replicate some of these extremes.
Seismic Recreating a seismic event such as an earthquake in the laboratory requires the combination of long displacement and relatively high velocity transients. When subject to rapid changes in velocity and direction, payloads can respond by generating significant overturning moments. These moments must be restrained to avoid damage to testing equipment. In response, Team has developed a number of systems, both

In March 2014, Team Corporation was honored to be selected to build the vibration test system for the James Webb Space Telescope, NASA’s top priority science mission. Once built, the telescope will offer exciting new insight into our understanding of the universe. Before its launch it will need to undergo extensive testing at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland to assess its ability to survive the vibration it will encounter on the Ariane 5 rocket. The size and weight of the Optical Telescope with the Integrated Science Instrument Module (OTIS) mean that a custom designed test system is required. Major aspects of the vibration test system are a guided slip table for horizontal testing and a specially designed guided head expander for vertical testing that weighs approximately 25,000 pounds and stands approximately eight feet tall. Both testing systems are capable of resisting large overturning moments and will be supplied by Team Corporation.
