The first day of classes was on October 4, 1971 with 1178 students. The campus contains a large tract of undeveloped land along the Puget Sound waterfront, much of it being second growth evergreen forest, which is of use to the students and faculty of the campus as a research and natural area. The entire campus comprises about 1008 acres, much of it forested land. This total includes 27 acres of southern Puget Sound tidelands. In addition to the main campus, there is also an organic farm. Walk through the campus on sidewalks and maintained paths with some stairs. The 10K walk includes the campus, the organic farm, a lengthy walk through the woods and down the hill to Eld Inlet (no beach access, but nice views) and up a steep hill (on a paved road) back to the campus, whence the 2C rating. The 7K walk includes the campus, the organic farm and surrounding woods, but no hills of any consequence.
