This is the third year that 4-H Network News has covered A Taste of WSU, during the WSU in Seattle week. We began at the Pike Place Market, and now at Benaroya Hall, but the coverage remains the same - to feature the wonderful bounty of food in Washington State and the achievements of WSU researchers in collaboration with their community partners.
