The new Ruth Wylie Head House, slated to open in spring 2021, supports research into soil health and improved practices for agriculture in Northwest Washington.
Washington State University alumna Ruth Wylie broke new ground in public service as Skagit County’s first woman commissioner and county treasurer.
A new support facility opening this spring at WSU’s Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center (NWREC) at Mount Vernon is being named for Wylie, built through a donation from her daughter, Nancy Kercheval (1979, B.S., Agricultural Economics).
The new Ruth Wylie Head House serves as a workspace and research hub for discoveries improving soil health and regional agriculture. It was partly funded through a $150,000 gift from Kercheval.

FIR ISLAND â From atop a dike Monday morning on Fir Island, Skagit Audubon Society President Jeff Osmundson and group member Tim Manns could identify the birds in all directions.
A great blue heron to the north, a bald eagle to the south, snow geese flying overhead and dozens of dunlin flocking to the exposed shore of Skagit Bay â to name a few.
Manns and Osmundson trained their spotting scopes on each species for U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Everett) while they rattled off facts about the birds most often seen in Skagit County.
Larsen is touring birdwatching sites with Audubon Society groups in the stateâs 2nd Congressional District because heâs concerned about an upcoming change to the Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
