Skagit and Whatcom counties are very, very white. The chief minority is so-called Native American. There is a Mexican presence, as you would expect on the West Coast. Few blacks, a lot of Asians and quite a few people from India, particularly Sikhs.

The last mass shooting was in adjacent Snohomish County at a high school on an Indian reservation. Might be something to do with our Native Americans.

Skagit and North Whatcom Counties both have large Hispanic populations working agriculture. In recent years the gangs there have gone from a bunch of wannabes to shooting at each other.

Just to clarify... the HS shooting in Marysville was NOT on a reservation.

And Burlington has a large Hispanic population because it’s in Skagit County...one of the richest agricultural valleys in the World.

And yes there is a gang problem there.
