UW Bothell's Husky Village Taking Shape

The multi-building apartment complex was acquired by the University of Washington in April in order to provide on-campus housing for the rapidly growing student enrollment. The property is located at the north perimeter of the Bothell campus and has been renamed Husky Village. New signage reflecting the expanded UW Bothell presence along Beardslee Boulevard will be installed in the fall.

Do You Have a Living Will?
Article by Williams & Williams PSC. 

A living will is a document that tells your health care providers when you want them to stop life-sustaining medical treatment and let you die. It can take effect in only one of two situations: either if you are terminally ill death is imminent such that life-sustaining procedures would only prolong the process of dying, or if you are in a permanent unconscious condition. Living wills (also called "health care directives," or "directives to physicians") are authorized by Washington law under RCW 70.122.030. Life-sustaining procedures affected by a living will may include cardiopulmonary resuscitation ("CPR"), the use of a mechanical device such as a respirator to keep a person breathing. Living wills may also direct health care providers as to whether or not to administer food or water artificially.
