University District
The University District, or U-District, is a lively hub where students, locals, and visitors mingle. Start at the University of Washington campus, strolling through beautifully landscaped grounds and historic buildings, with springtime cherry blossoms and the iconic Suzzallo Library.
Enjoy scenic views of Mount Rainier and Lake Washington as a picturesque backdrop. Head to University Way, “The Ave,” for an eclectic mix of bookstores, cafes, and quirky shops. Visit University District Farmers Market, one of Seattle’s longest-running markets, and catch live performances at the Neptune Theatre. Don’t forget to stop by University District’s thrift shops, offering a treasure trove of vintage finds.
