This week, we’ll be examining Washington's freshest crop - marijuana. The agriculture, the security and the personalities.

Over four days, correspondent Anna King will take us along to remote corners of Washington to meet the farmers taking part in this wild west adventure.

Anna had a partner on this road trip. Riding shotgun was the Tacoma News Tribune’s Jordan Schrader.

Both reporters discussed their journey and their collaborative series that we're calling "First Cut."
