Get Your
Feet Wet

What sets the UW apart? It starts with the spirit of discovery that drives all aspects of the student experience. Add award-winning faculty, renowned researchers—and maybe you. 

This is our place to tell you about who we are as a campus, a city, a region. Come here for the latest news and the oldest U-Dub traditions. Speaking of traditions, did you know this is UW’s 150th year? How many American universities can say that?

If you live down the street, you know all about Seattle and the Pacific Northwest. Just as likely, though, you’re looking at this page from another state or across the ocean and would like to learn more. Thank you for looking in.
