Capitol Campus Projects - Summer 2019
Campus Color Initiative and Banner Pilot Project
This spring and summer, DES crews have been busy improving the campus "curb appeal" as well as pollinator habitat with more flowers that bring color to both East and West Campus – a mix of perennials, annuals and wildflowers. Crews have also hung banners that reflect the diversity of eastern and western Washington on 20 light posts along the north and south diagonals on the Capitol Campus. Learn more.
