The state of Washington has been described as ?extraordinary? from many who have visited or lived here. It is a place where you can still find tranquility and peace as well as a multitude of educational and recreational opportunities. Washington is home to the Olympic Mountains, the Colorado River, and Puget Sound. And with such majesty, it is not surprising that it is also home to some of the finest colleges, universities and technical schools too. Washington?s agriculture consists primarily of seafood, dairy, and apples. Local industry is prominently aerospace and software development. However, Washington schools provide academic opportunities in virtually every discipline and degree imaginable. You can earn your degree in liberal arts, science, business, medical, computer science, and much more, all the while, living in a scenic and recreational paradise.
