About Skagit County Migrant
The Washington State Migrant Council is tasked by the state legislature with working on behalf of the tens of thousands of migrant workers who come to Washington annually to harvest, build and labor in seasonal work.

Their Need
Migrants in the Skagit County area had a variety of camps with a variety of facilities, some very modern, some that dated back to the 1950s. Additionally, the state felt that a broader range of services should be provided to migrant works not dissimilar to those provided to state employees, one of which would be child care for working families

The Whitley Solution
A 7,000 square foot facility was ordered late in 2003 for the 2004 work season. Distributor Williams Scotsman worked closely with Washington government to produce a building that would improve the lives of migrant workers. Modular was chosen because of the significantly shorter construction time needed to ready the building. Modular was also chosen because changing demographic patterns required that the building be relocatable. The building Whitley produced included a large lunchroom, nursery, classrooms, playroom and administrative offices. The Whitley solution proved to be expandable, as well, and all at a price that would not strain the state’s budget.
