Secret on the sound
Highline, which has its main campus on a Des Moines hilltop, opened its new educational facility last summer on a 260-foot pier that extends into the sound. A classroom, laboratories and public displays on marine science are contained within the main building, next to a street-side boardwalk.
But the Marine and Science Technology Center’s public attraction is its aquarium, which exhibits more than 80 species of marine life specific to Puget Sound.

Community-college option gone for high schoolers [NC’s version of Running Start]
In the past, the state paid for high-school students to take tuition-free classes at all 58 community colleges, and students were allowed to sign up for classes in the spring. Many students use that option to tackle advanced work and build up college credits that save them money after graduation. But the budget passed in August cut $14.6 million from that program for 2009-10, leaving science, math and technology courses as the only tuition-free options for most high-schoolers.
