Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation

In Long Beach, the Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation helps visitors and growers alike better understand one of the region’s most important crops. Manager Paula Reagor and WSU researcher Dr. Laura Kraft share the science, history, and hands-on research behind cranberry farming—from testing varieties that can handle warmer temperatures to managing pests in the field. The site’s museum, research plots, and educational programs highlight both the heritage and future of cranberry production on Washington’s coast.
