Mid-quarter Sickness Soars — Send Over Some Soup!

With mid‑quarter here we’re getting a mix of rain, stress, and campus sickness. Lately we’ve been hearing one big question:


“My student is sick on campus and I can’t be there — how do I help?”


One easy way: send soup! Broth, noodles, veggies, and protein covers all the necessary elements to fueling and soothing the body when it’s under immense stress from sickness and school.

Here are a few parent‑tested, student‑approved U District spots we recommend:
🔸Saigon Deli — 4142 Brooklyn Ave NE
Our top sick‑day pick. Affordable, comforting pho
🔸Lee’s Kitchen — 4106 Brooklyn Ave NE
Mild wonton soup that’s easy on the stomach
🔸Panda Noodle Bar — 4508 University Way NE
Rich broth; ask for light or no spice
🔸Ba Bar (U Village)
Excellent pho and healthy options.


As we move through these last few winter weeks, we’re wishing all our Huskies a smooth recovery and the strength to finish the quarter strong. Brighter days are on the way! Spring is just around the corner, and soon the cherry blossoms will be here to greet us all 💜🌸
