Building the Human Infrastructure First.

Create State is a distributed community initiative in the Skagit Valley.
(Website currently under construction for 2026 Phase)

Welcome to the Prototype Phase

We are not waiting for a building. We are building the human infrastructure first. We operate as a "Distributed Network," activating existing community spaces to hybridize arts and civic engagement. We bridge the gaps between isolated groups and individuals to create a shared, active commons across Skagit Valley.
