  • Strategic Plan Appendicies
    APPENDIX A: DESTINATION COMPETITIVE ANALYSIS Asheville / Buncombe County, North Carolina Asheville, North Carolina features layers of lush mountains that abound with adventure, profound cultural roots from literary giants to American royalty, and inspired locals whose passion projects jump from pop-up kitchens to performance art. Asheville has been a point of pilgrimage since the 1800s as a destination for inspiration, rejuvenation and self-expression. No wonder George W. Vanderbilt chose this Blue Ridge city for his greatest legacy, Biltmore. And perhaps why Lonely Planet named Asheville as the #1 destination in 2017, just one of many accolades for this hip mountain town. Beer is big in Asheville and only continues to grow. With 28 breweries in the city and 30 in Buncombe County, Asheville has the most breweries per capital in the country. Four additional breweries will open by the end of 2017, including Turgua Farmstead Brewing, set on a five-acre farm in Fairview and utilizing fruits and root vegetables. SmartAsset.com ranked Asheville #2 among "The Best Cities for Beer Drinkers" following a study that analyzed various sources of data (December 2015). Asheville is also a foodie town, with its own “Foodtopia” campaign to attract culinary tourists to its 250+ independent restaurants; six James Beard nominated chefs; 28 breweries; 14 farmers markets; one vegan butcher; 1,000+ family farms; one wild foods market, the first in the nation; three craft hard cideries using local apples; the fifth micro sake brewery in the nation; one rum distillery (the only one in Western N.C.); one kombucha bar, all local; one honey bar/boutique; one underground supper club with wild themes and secret locations; two insanely creative donut shops; two locations to get bean-to-bar local chocolate; one mushroom man tour guide; and the first woman to legally distill moonshine.

WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY THEWINDOW UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE WINTER 2019 A HISTORY OF WESTERN IN objects Underneath it all A network of about three miles of walkable tunnels beneath campus provide a conduit for high-pressure steam pipes, high-voltage and fiber-optic cables, compressed air, and other crucial utilities to campus buildings. The tunnel network has been part of campus infrastructure since the 1960s and has grown with the campus. Now, workers can walk from Old Main to nearly Buchanan Towers without breaking the surface, says John Kingsford-Smith, a safety of- ficer with Western’s Environmental Health and Safety Office (pictured here). Some passages are as deep as 25 feet below ground, he adds. While workers are in the tunnel every day, security is tight to discourage would-be tunnel tourists, with motion-detection, multiple locks and regular foot patrols.

  • Bellingham School District New Superintendent Dr. Greg Baker's
    Bellingham School District New Superintendent Dr. Greg Baker’s Plan of Entry: “Listening and Learning to Strengthen Relationships for Student Success” Last Updated: July 14, 2010 Plan of Entry Introduction The superintendent is responsible for fulfilling the mission of our district and schools – improving student learning. This role provides essential leadership to obtain and develop quality staff, secure and manage funds and facilities, and encourage and maintain communication between the schools and the public. The purpose of this entry plan is to provide a structure to support Dr. Greg Baker’s transition as superintendent for Bellingham Public Schools as he listens to students, staff, families and the greater Bellingham community to: Build public trust and strengthen engagement in our schools; Update the needs, objectives and work priorities of the school district as outlined in the district’s existing strategic plan to prepare all students for successful futures; and Identify the district’s strengths, improvement opportunities and challenges. The transition activities outlined in this plan are designed to help Dr. Baker accelerate the changeover by gathering critical information quickly about the needs of the children, staff and the school system and community; establish a strong community presence early; assess the district’s strengths, challenges and opportunities for improvement; identify critical issues; correct weaknesses while honoring the work of the past; and create a community network of contacts and resources that will help advance the school system. Special consideration has been given to include a diversity of stakeholders in this plan and voices that may not be heard through traditional forms of communication.
