WSU Metropolitan Center for Applied Research and Extension’s post-landslide Economic Prosperity Efforts

The massive Oso landslide killed 43 people, caused extensive flooding, and destroyed a key highway north of Everett in 2014, pushing the communities of Arlington and Darrington to their breaking point. Working in partnership with the two municipalities, the Economic Alliance Snohomish County, and numerous local partners, the Metro Center has steadily guided the communities in their quest for sustainable economic prosperity.
