For today’s Fast Fact, let’s take a look at some OOH statistics across Washington’s 43 counties!

Washington state is known for its vast, beautiful wilderness, and is home to many bountiful crops and exports. In fact, Washington is the largest producer of both apples and hops in the United States. Washington is also home to some unique engineering marvels, such as the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, also known as the 520 Bridge. The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge is the longest floating bridge in the world, as of its opening in 2016. It actually beat its own record, after replacing a slightly shorter bridge of the same name, in the same location, that was originally built in 1963!
