OUR ADVANTAGE
From Skagit Valley farms and small businesses with big potential to like-minded entrepreneurs, our mission is to support local ventures that will help Skagit County and the residents that call it home, thrive.
We do it because we believe our stunning little corner of the state has the potential to provide the kind of business environment that can offer living wages and keeps iconic properties, businesses and industries locally owned and controlled.
From its agriculture and outdoor recreation to arts, culture and entertainment, we’re here to help build, grow and share the things that make Skagit Valley extraordinary.
Agriculture
Skagit County maintains one of the largest and most diverse agricultural communities west of the Cascade mountain range. This area’s unique climate makes for agricultural products that can be branded and sold at a premium in addition to a booming ag tourism industry.
Outdoor Recreation
From the sea to the valley and all the way up into the mountains, this stunningly diverse region boasts four seasons of outdoor activities for novices and professionals alike. Our goal is to invest in initiatives that can operationalize potential and help spread the word.
Art, Culture & Entertainment
Skagit Valley is already filled with rich culture and art museums meant to exhibit our heritage and nurture an appreciation of the region. But at SB Ventures we feel that, with the proper investments, this region could be transformed into a world-class hub for arts, culture and entertainment.
