History

In July 1952, five persons created a nonprofit corporation: Camano Water Association, CWA, to exist in perpetuity to serve an area of about 1.7 square miles, 1,075 acres, on Camano Island known as the Country Club. The Garrison and Hartman families owned this land, and five of their members became the first Trustees of CWA. Read more history.
