2. Information on the Center

The Northwest WA LASER Regional Alliance is an integral part of science education reform in the northwest corner of Washington State. We serve the NWESD region, which includes the 5 most northwestern counties in the state: Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom counties, along with the Island and San Juan counties, made up of the San Juan Island group and Whidbey and Camano Islands in the north Puget Sound.

Our current membership is comprised of NWESD and the following school districts:

In addition to staff development, our Alliance supports the NWESD Science Materials Center Cooperative housed in Stanwood, Washington, at Port Susan Middle School in the Stanwood-Camano School District.
