Seattle is positioned as the economic hub for Washington apples with the Northwestern Fruit Exchange headquartered here, owning the Skookum brand and handling millions in sales. The city’s harbor, banking, and telegraphic networks support growth, marketing, and export plans to Australia and Asia while Yakima and Wenatchee Valleys supply most of the state's commercial crop.
