From the Seattle World / Areas

University District

University District is a Seattle area shaped by the University of Washington and a much older Indigenous landscape around Portage Bay and Union Bay.

University District

Why go

Go to the University District for a part of Seattle where campus life sits within a deeper landscape history. The area was inhabited long before European settlement, including Duwamish villages around Portage Bay and Union Bay. That context makes the University of Washington, Suzzallo Library and nearby cultural institutions more meaningful than isolated campus stops.

What to look for

  • University District includes land associated with historic Duwamish villages around Portage Bay and Union Bay.
  • University District provides the setting for the University of Washington campus.
