University of Washington - Celebrating 150 Years
Old brick and new “green” buildings are set among graceful paths and landscaped grounds on the Seattle campus.
Over the past 150 years, the UW and the people of Washington have created one of the most livable, innovative and vibrant areas in the nation.
