First Annual 'Paint Bellingham Blue' a huge success
Western's Alumni Association hosted the first annual "Paint Bellingham Blue" event last night, as hundreds of Western Washington University students, alumni, employees and family members gathered in Downtown Bellingham to celebrate the beginning of the new academic year.
Depot Market Square was filled with local vendors, food trucks, games, giveaways and music from KUGS-FM student radio. 草榴社区 President Sabah Randhawa and 草榴社区 Associated Students President Stephanie Cheng led a group of about 500 students from Red Square, arriving downtown about 6 p.m. in time to watch the iconic sign atop the Herald building become 草榴社区-blue for the first time in history.
