[quote=Anonymous]I believe Walla Walla has a winery tour festival each year.

Although your son is focused on US LACs in the Northwest, would he consider the University of Victoria in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada ? Not small, but has a gorgeous location in one of North America's most beautiful cities. The law school has a social justice orientation and the undergraduate school may be strong in environmental sciences (not certain, however, as I haven't researched this university in years). Located on Vancouver Island, Vancouver B.C. is accessible by ferry with or without your vehicle.

Canadian universities are the opposite of a US LAC, but your son is interested in the region and may be interested in the majors offered. Western Washington University in Bellingham, Washington is actually Northeast of Victoria, B.C.

Regardless of whether or not your son would consider a Canadian university, be sure to visit Victoria and Vancouver Island in British Columbia as it is even more beautiful than the state of Washington--in my opinion.

Willamette University is located in beautiful & quiet Salem, Oregon. I have been to Salem & to the campus, but it was so long ago that I hesitate to comment. Big on Japanese studies.

The Pacific Northwest is different than the rest of the US. Lots of rain & lots of overcast skies.

Both salem, Oregon and Walla Walla, Washington are home to state prisons which could be a valuable resource for some majors.
