Skagit Valley

The local newspaper is Skagit Valley Herald, published in Mount Vernon, Washington.

Several local musical groups, including the Fidalgo Youth Symphony[3] and the Skagit Valley Chorale, bring together local amateur musicians from across the Skagit Valley.

In 2020, the Skagit Valley Chorale made international headlines during the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States when an infected person attended a choir rehearsal, before COVID-19 was known to be spreading in the local community.

As one of the clearest superspreading events early in the pandemic – choir members were able to tell researchers who stood next to whom throughout most of the evening – it was carefully studied by researchers, which resulted in recommendations used worldwide about how to avoid transmitting the virus.
