Washington State House of Representatives resolution acknowledging and appreciating dairy farm workers for their contributions to the state's economy and communities

Dairy Day at the legislature scheduled for February 18, 2026, at the capitol campus to celebrate Washington-produced dairy products

Washington has nearly 400 dairy farms with over 275,000 dairy cows, including 33 certified organic dairies, spread across at least 27 of the state's 39 counties

Dairy ranks as Washington's third highest agricultural commodity, generating over $1 billion annually, with the state ranking eleventh nationally in total milk production

Washington's dairy industry predates statehood, with cows arriving in 1838 and the first creamery opening in Cheney in 1880
