WSU R&E Centers are operated by the WSU College of Agriculture, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS).
- Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Center - Established in 1947, the NWREC in Mt. Vernon has a long tradition of serving western Washington’s agricultural and horticultural communities.
- Tree Fruit Research and Extension Center - located in Wenatchee (north-central Washington), the primary fruit producing region of the world, the center features a cooperative, multidisciplinary approach to tree fruit production in the 21st century.
- Irrigated Agriculture Research and Extension Center - located in Prosser (south central Washington), the focal point for the University, the U.S. Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service (USDA-ARS), and the Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) research, extension, and certification programs that address the concerns of irrigated agriculture. An estimated two-thirds of the agricultural production in the state comes from irrigated land, making such research of vital interest to Washington's economy, both for intrastate distribution and exportation.

Here, you will find programs supporting technological innovation, food production, natural resource stewardship, youth development, human nutrition and community enhancement.
