Education Project

Our community wants more local reporting on education-related issues.

Donate

Based on feedback from readers and conversations we’ve had with community members, reporting on education news throughout Snohomish County is a critical beat that The Daily Herald needs to cover more deeply than ever.

Good educational opportunities and systems help residents and communities to thrive. So we established the Education Project as a long-term journalism initiative that will inform and connect students, families, leaders, and others throughout the community on critical issues, challenges, and solutions for education in Snohomish County.

But first, we need your help to grow the fund.
