The University of Washington North Sound is a university that may be placed at one of two proposed sites for a new UW campus. The sites had to be north of Lynnwood, south of Arlington, and has good transportation access (major freeway, transportation hub, etc.). The 2 sites are in Smokey Point and in Everett.
In March 2008, Randy Hodgins, University of Washington spokesman, announced that "it’s not happening this year at all" due to disagreements in location and funding. In September 2008, the Higher Education Coordinating Board retained the services of Bill Wilkerson to carryout their consensus-building task for a North Sound campus location, but was unsuccessful. "The short story about the consensus effort is there is not a consensus," summed up the panel chairman, Sen. Derek Kilmer, D-Gig Harbor. There has been no progress since winter of 2009.
There were four finalists sites that were judged more favorable than up to 80 other sites. Two finalist have since been disqualified.
