Greetings, Coaches, mentors, volunteers:
First, I want to thank all the coaches, mentors, and the board for their help in setting up our tournaments. We hope to finalize UW C Regional with our student chapter and faculty advisors and ratify Odle MS as a NW Division B site before Thanksgiving. I am excited for all the new sites and new collaborations, and every team will compete in a new venue this season.
Our organization relies on generous support from volunteers to sustain the growth for which I am very grateful. Giving Tuesday and other volunteer options are available as we approach the holidays. Your support through employer matching programs will be greatly appreciated. Please consider donating volunteer hours or money to WSO through programs such as Benevity (EIN # 9-11797289) or directly at WSO website: https://scilympiad.com/wa/donate.
To help us fund regional tournaments, we are collaborating with Smith Brothers Farm, a PNW milk and grocery delivery service. A Milk Fund was established where each new customer signup leads to a donation towards WSO. I encourage interested families to sign up using the following link.

Promo code: WAOlympiad
You can select weekly, every other week, or one-time delivery, and can update the plan anytime. There is a $15 discount for the first time order. I have signed up and it is a great service and support for local business (Pudge Sound and Vancouver area). Please share with your friends and students’ families as well. – You will see more Smith Brothers in Food Science at upcoming tournaments.
Remember that our registration is still open until Jan 15th. Our NW regional B sites are currently full. If there are new teams interested in registering, please ask them to reach out to the State Director via email. Teams should ask their volunteers to fill out the volunteer form if they’ve not already done so.
Check out our resources website, which has been updated with past season’s Botany tests, Quantum tests, latest update to Game Agent rules, and Protein study resources. Game Agent will be supported at Camas B, SW Regional, and remotely for other Invitationals and regionals.
