The University of Washington North Sound is a proposed branch campus that may be placed at one of two sites for a new University of Washington campus. The sites had to be north of Lynnwood and south of Arlington, and have good transportation access (major freeway, transportation hub, etc.). The two proposed 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.

“The information links are like nerves that pervade and help to animate the human organism. The sensors and monitors are analogous to the human senses that put us in touch with the world. Data bases correspond to memory; the information processors perform the function of human reasoning and comprehension. Once the postmodern infrastructure is reasonably integrated, it will greatly exceed human intelligence in reach, acuity, capacity, and precision.”
—Albert Borgman, U.S. educator, author. Crossing the Postmodern Divide, ch. 4, University of Chicago Press (1992)

“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
“One of those sound slumbers which, lasting in reality some half hour, seem to the sleeper to have been protracted for three weeks or a month.”
