In a tiny island laboratory in the Northwesternmost corner of Washington, one marine biologist is on a mission: scan every known fish species in the world. It’s a painstaking and smelly task, but one that promises to fundamentally change the way scientists and educators look at marine anatomy. Adam Summers, a fish expert at the University of Washington, has been 3-D scanning fish for decades, but it was always a complicated and expensive undertaking. Getting access to the right equipment was a struggle and each specimen would take nearly a day to process. In late 2015 Friday Harbor Laboratories on San Juan Island acquired its own computed tomography scanner and Summers’ team set out to achieve what had once seemed impossible: to create 3-D models of all 33,000 known fish species.

When I came across this 1988 Subaru RX, Subaru's earliest rally-inspired production car, I knew it had to be my next project. Granddaddy to the WRX and the Legacy RS these cars are super unique and hard to find. In this video we'll look at the history of the RX as well as some of my first steps toward getting her going. By the end of this multi-part build series we'll be tearing up the PNW back-roads in our vintage JDM turbo rally car. EPISODE 2 IS OUT! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWbRBJucExY Shot on a Panasonic GH4, Canon G7x, Google Pixel, Gopro Hero 3+, Phantom 3 Standard Drone. Music licensed by Epidemic Sound.

In Washington State where recycling rates have been on the decline for several years the region's largest waste management company is sending interns door-to-door to educate people about recycling. EarthFix Production Intern Jared Rusk has this report.

Jeff Pearson and The Skagit Valley Offroad Subaru club don't choose the easy path. In their tweaked out, jacked up Subaru wagons even the storm of the century wont stop them as they tear through Walker Valley, Washington with no regrets.

Washington produces over two thirds of the apples consumed in the United States. But with a continually shrinking labor pool and increasing market demands from overseas, the apple industry has struggled to keep up in recent year, despite record-setting crop yields. To meet these challenges farmers, entrepreneurs and scientists are looking to a new generation of automated and semi-autonomous technology to reinforce, and someday perhaps even replace, the lacking labor force in the apple business.

This short video featurette looks at what it takes to play jazz like the greats. With live performance footage from the Whatcom Jazz Music Arts Center and The Western Washington University Jazz Combo, this piece attempts to put the audience into the head of a jazz musician as they lose themselves in the freeform perfection of the jazz solo.

As many as 10,000 people attended the 2017 Women's March in Bellingham, Washington. It was the largest demonstration the town had seen in decades.

Oceanographers, marine biologists and any other scientists who deal with the big blue will tell you that you could spend your whole life on the water and still not see all there is to see. But what is you could get years worth of data across thousands of miles of oceans without even setting foot in a boat? Autonomous Underwater Vehicles represent decades of marine technology advancement and offer a variety of cutting edge solutions to problems facing marine scientists today at a fraction of the cost of many more traditional methods.
