Gov. Jay Inslee gave a shout out to WSU and the Cosmic Crisp apple in his State of the State address this afternoon.
Cosmic Crisps dotted the tops of legislative desks on the House floor as the governor mentioned the development of the apple amidst a list of inspirational accomplishments over the past year.
“I’m inspired by the development of Washington’s newest apple, the Cosmic Crisp” the Governor said, noting the attendance of representatives from WSU’s College of Agriculture, Human and Natural Resource Sciences. “Several people from Washington State University are here, including Kate Evans who heads WSU’s apple breeding program, and Agriculture School Dean André Wright. Congratulations to Washington State University for what they’ve done.”
