OK here is the satelite photo:

Here is the hint:
Cells Divide, but sometimes they Can't
What is the mystery campus? And what in the world does the hint mean?
(BTW last week's hint is still up for grabs ... there are plenty of clues in the comments.)

This photo quiz is a bit different from the others I've done so far. Instead of giving you a full picture, I'm going to put up a piece of the image and a hint. Your mission (should you choose to accept it) is to try to figure out what this is a picture of.
First, the picture:
Octopus cyanea
Well you guys have been pretty good at guessing the mystery campus. But in addition I'd like you to tell me the answer to the riddle/hint.
Here at Guilty Planet, every day is Earth Day.
Any Southern or Midwest campuses lined up soon?
University of Washington, which has quite a beautiful campus.
Coturnix,
Will do. (And if anyone wants non-US institutions, they're-a-coming too.)
Hey, I can see my old dormitory from here! And Drumheller Fountain! And Suzallo Library! And there's that nice scenic spot on Union Bay where I used to eat my lunch!
I have no idea what the clue means, though.
Hint on the hint: Sometimes Cells Do not divide 'Cuz they have mutations.
I could never sleep when I visited that place.
Bil,
When were you there? Conference? (Actually the mystery campus was the site of this year's RNA meeting, I didn't go but heard that the food was bad, real bad ...)
Hmm, I was offered a job there.
Oh yeah. I guess I knew that ...
Okay, it's still up for grabs, huh? I'll bite:
I'm guessing this....

(Yeah, I'm cheating. The work was done in our building.)
Exactly.
BTW, sorry it took so long for your comment to appear, it appears that >1 link triggers the comment spam filter. I've been away so I just checked the "junk comments" and found your answer. As for the work was done in your building, there is no shame in publicizing what great work was done in your neighborhood. Vive la cell cycle.
