Description

Welcome to Western! Welcome to Bellingham!

New students, Western alumni and friends are invited to join the 4th Annual Paint B’ham Blue for WWU celebration to kick off the start of the academic year! 

 

What's this?

  • Students will join a procession from Red Square, led by WWU President Sabah Randhawa, and walk downtown to a warm welcome by alumni and the greater Western community. And...
  • Students will sign their names on the WWU Vikings Banner, to later be displayed on campus.
  • A special downtown festival - exclusively for the WWU community - will take place in Depot Market Square featuring dance tunes, food trucks, local vendors and giveaways (even some FREE FOOD!)
  • We'll count down to light the iconic Herald sign in WWU Blue...and that's when the fireworks begin.
     

Where's the paint? Well, it's a figure of speech, but...Bellingham is going BLUE!

  • Trees in the downtown core will be decked out in WWU blue lights
  • Downtown businesses will display WWU signs if they offer student and alumni discounts
  • Light poles throughout downtown will be adorned with Viking banners
  • The WWU Viking flag will fly atop the Herald Building
