Washington State University realizes
the importance of research in all sectors of society and
has produced an impressive and extensive history of
instruction and practical research since its
establishment in 1890. WSU extension offices, situated in
every county in the state of Washington, transfer
research from the University to local communities.
(See WSU Extension map.)
University-inspired research is the
principle source of technological innovations and
economic expansion for our region and country. Washington
State University’s positive impact upon both the
state and national economy is evidenced by the large
number of collaborations that exist between the
University and commercial enterprises. (See
Industry/Commerce Connections maps.)
