As Western Washington University transforms from spring to summer, opportunities for involvement change drastically, and campus life and activity lessen substantially. The transitional season can serve students choosing to remain in Bellingham from June through September as a time to step outside of their usual circles and campus routines.
With the spring quarter well underway, student clubs, events and activities are in full bloom. Among them is spring intramural sports, a prized facilitator of student involvement at Western Washington University.
At the southern tip of Western Washington University's campus, tucked between Fairhaven College and Buchanan Towers lies five acres of land, teeming with life and activity, student contributions, chickens, beehives, community gardens and organic food forests, a greenhouse and a creek running through it all.
As springtime rolls into Bellingham, the town sees an uptick in community events and activities throughout the city, including the Bellingham Farmers Market, a weekly event featuring over a hundred booths of vendors, farmers and artisans.
