Bastyr University - Natural Health Sciences and a Beautiful Location
Yesterday I wrote about my visit to Saint Edward State Park. What I forgot to mention was yet another Kenmore Treasure: Bastyr University which is right next to the State Park. Bastyr is world famous as a center for advancing knowledge in the natural health sciences such as naturopathic medicine, acupuncture, Oriental medicine, nutrition, health psychology, exercise science and herbal sciences. It’s quite an amazing place and it’s right in our backyard. Bastyr is also important to the Kenmore economy as it is the largest employer in the community. It offers conference services, meeting rooms, a vegetarian cafeteria (open to the public) and overnight guest rooms.
The last time I visited the Bastyr campus was for a wedding. Yes, a wedding in the University Chapel which is a beautiful non-denominational, European-style church built in 1958. Bastyr truly is an important institution in our town. Check it out sometime soon.
