Day 140: Next week is the beginning of fall quarter classes at Highline, so this week is our opening week for faculty and staff. We started with a big welcome event, then followed that with a “Highline Bingo” activity that had us going around campus to visit various services and departments, learning a bit about them, and getting our bingo card marked to try to win prizes. I got a Highline lanyard!

Year 50 Day 58

Me standing outside in front of a chain-link fence. Behind the fence is an active construction area, with workers and heavy equipment visible. In the far distance are the tracks for an in-construction light rail station.

Day 58: Eventually (sometime in 2025), there will be a light rail station just across the road from Highline College. In the meantime, one of the area improvements is a major upgrade to the entrance to the campus. The work on that project is underway over the summer and should be complete by the time fall quarter starts. Not much to look at right now, but should be a good upgrade when complete, and it’s going to be very nice to have the light rail station here when it finally opens.
