For more than 120 years, The Daily Herald in Everett, WA, has been committed to providing the local coverage of Snohomish County that no other institution or organization can. We are the community’s watchdog and storyteller. Our award-winning journalism often sparks change and sets the agenda for public policy debate

Based on our conversations with readers and feedback we’ve received from throughout our community, reporting on K-12 education is a critical beat that we need to cover more deeply than ever.

Good educational opportunities and systems help residents and communities to thrive. So we’re setting out to establish 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 K-12 education in Snohomish County.

To do this right, we need your help.
