Can't Miss It: Thursday
Take a Trip to the Taste of Tulalip
In Seattle the markers indicating the change in seasons go beyond the weather and blooming cherry blossoms. It's spring, and it's time for the course catalogs to start arriving at your door. We didn't receive our personal favorite from the Experimental College until last week, but it's been online since March 2. You can register online March 16th and you better be on the ball about it this semester if you don't want to get shut out of that sushi class once again.
We'd like to provide a sampling of the courses available, but make sure to get over to the ASUW Experimental College site for the full listing.
