Why go

The University of Washington campus gives a Seattle visit an institutional and landscape dimension at once. Founded before Washington statehood, it moved from an early downtown site to a large campus in the University District. Its setting near Union Bay and the Montlake Cut links academic buildings, waterfront paths and Husky Stadium into a coherent northeast Seattle stop.

What to look for

  • Red Square links Suzzallo Library with central campus buildings.
  • University of Washington's main campus is in Seattle's University District.
  • University of Washington lies near Union Bay and the Montlake Cut.
