It's cold today! It seems like winter on this Wednesday, April 07, 2010 in Bellingham, WA. Our spring flowers are probably a little confused. I was going to hibernate my winter coat, but decided it was toooooooo early!

A Spring Career Fair is being hosted by WWU on April 22, 2010. If you are seeking a job, Western Washington University invites you to attend. It is being held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, April 22 in the Mac Gym of the Wade King Student Recreation Center.
