UW picks Everett for a new campus, and the dominoes start tumbling
The University of Washington yesterday announced its leading candidate for a North Campus: downtown Everett. Immediately the dominoes began to tumble in this high-stakes game for a new branch campus.

And will the whole idea be shelved, given a stalling economy and the UW's clout in protecting its home base?
