Unfortunately, tomorrow/Saturday will be a good day to avoid campus. Likely drop in Saturday business for small merchants in the U District.

Congratulations, U District Partnership, on the big move across the street! Sure the office is all in boxes and the phones don't quite yet work. The space is great, you're great and it's almost home.

Not sure we should admit this, but until just recently Regional & Community Relations thought narwhals were imaginary beasts. Like from Borges' Book of Imaginary Beings. We want to know more, but now we're worried about how nervous they get when humans intrude, even for research. Thanks for what we're learning, UW Ecologist Kristin Laidre.

Disturbed narwhals drop their heart rates from 60 beats a minute to three or four.

Who's the guy in the chartreuse rain gear working to make the Seattle commute safer? That's UW Evans School grad Dongho Chang.
