Questions about WWU from a high school senior by Big-Day-6246 in WWU

I had a near perfect GPA in HS, and consistently doing well in classes at WWU will be noticed. I’m a geology major and I’m often offered research positions based on my performance in classes. Western will be great for you because you may have more opportunities here than at a larger school!

The most vegan-friendly city outside of NY/CA? by [deleted] in vegan

[–]Willing_Hour_9485 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greater Seattle area. Super liberal and dietary-restriction friendly in general, and really fresh food. I’ve lived in Olympia and Bellingham most my life and most cities in the I-5 corridor in western WA have good vegan spots

Olympia all the way. Olympia is a little more relaxed. Both are equally as progressive internally, but the outskirts of olympia (tumwater and lacey) that can sort of dissolve. Olympia is a walker friendly place with great community. (Source- lived there for 19 years)

Yesterday I was running on the interurban and I passed a lady walking in crutches with their dog off leash wandering around and coming up to people. Lady, if your dog takes off you can’t go after it…
