WASHINGTON APPLE & CIDER FACTS:
Washington is the No. 1 apple producing state in the USA. 
Washington’s State Fruit is the apple.
Washington has 7 main apple production areas.
It’s believed the first apple seeds arrived at Fort Vancouver, in what is now Washington State, by traveling in a gentleman’s waistcoat pocket via a Hudson Bay Company sailing vessel in 1826 .
The fascinating history of Washington’s (still living) Oldest Apple Tree, complied by Robert J. Cromwell, Ph.D., Archaeologist with the National Parks Service and Fort Vancouver, can be read here.

    1. Thank you for the Sweetwater Cellars link, was not aware of that site. And thanks for pointing out it appears Sheffield only makes sweet ciders, no mention on their site about ABV or “hard” cider. I just sent them an email to confirm they only make sweet cider and are not imminently going into hard cider production. Thanks for the reminder that even though it’s juice or cider to us here at USofC – not everyone, including the US government follows that line of thinking. Adjusting the entry now.
