W75N is one of the first OH masers in which 100% linear polarization has been observed in several spots. Two spots contain Zeeman pairs, corresponding to magnetic fields of 5.2 and 7.7 mG. Another Zeeman pair consisting of two linearly polarized components was tentatively detected in one spot. The linearly polarized spots are σ components for the case when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the line of sight. For these spots, the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the circumstellar disk, though a correction for Galactic Faraday rotation may considerably modify this conclusion.
