It was determined that the $40 million would be raised via a $30.5-million, voter-approved General Obligation Bond. The remaining $9.5 million would come from hospital revenues, grants and private donations.
On Sept. 14, 2004, voters within Skagit County Public Hospital District No. 2 passed the largest bond to date in the community by one of the largest margins in local history as 78% of those voting said "yes."
The goal was to build and renovate over five years while maintaining 100% of the hospital's service in full operation.
