BELLINGHAM — The raspberry harvest in Washington this year was a record 72.5 million pounds.

Most of that — 69 million pounds — was produced by farmers in Whatcom County.

Washington Red Raspberry Commission Executive Director Henry Bierlink tells The Bellingham Herald the summer was about as perfect as it could get. He said farmers had a good crop in both quality and quantity.
