The Perry Center for Fisheries and Aquaculture Sciences; Help Us Build Something Great
A new, state-of-the-art facility, in the heart of Bellingham’s Old Town, will replace the 62- year-old Fisheries Technology building, with its severe structural and inefficiency problems

Transforming Our Region; One Student at a Time
BTC training leads to family-wage jobs.
Most in-demand occupations require technical skills and education beyond a high school diploma. BTC works to identify emerging trends, develop relevant programming, and train workers to meet the needs of local and regional employers.
The results? A highly skilled workforce, family-wage jobs, a stronger local economy and a more stable community.
Investing in BTC means a sound investment in the economic health of your community:
- BTC graduates acquire skills that lead to family-wage jobs and higher lifetime earnings.
- Increased incomes equal greater spending power, driving demand for goods and services.
- Higher tax revenues benefit our local, regional and state economy.
- Skilled workers contribute to increased industrial productivity.
- Employment stability means reduced need for social services.
In this era of ever-shrinking state budgets, the BTC Foundation needs your support. With your help, we can continue investing in our students, as they become skilled workers.
Together, we can strengthen the social structure, economy and stability of our community.
Yes, your investment makes a real, measurable difference.
