Its internationally acclaimed faculty includes five Nobel laureates and the winner of the 1990 National Book Award for fiction. Washington is part of an elite group of research universities whose contributions to American life are unique because they generate the basic knowledge upon which practical innovations are based. The UW student body on the Seattle campus totals about 39,000, with an undergraduate enrollment of approximately 28,000. The UW also has campuses in Bothell and Tacoma, designed primarily for upper division (junior and senior) undergraduates and master’s level graduate programs. Total enrollment at these campuses is about 3,600. For more than 30 years, the university has been among the country’s top five institutions in the dollar value of federal research grants and contracts awarded to its faculty. In 2002, the most recent year for which these data have been collected, the UW ranked second overall and first among public universities. Total grant and contract activity for 2003 exceeded $930 million. More than 75 percent of the university’s grant and contract funds come from federal agencies. Research contributes directly to the educational goals of graduate and professional students, as well as to those of undergraduates. Instruction and research at Washington are supported by a library system that is one of the most extensive in the nation, consisting of five major units and 18 branches, as well as libraries at UW Tacoma and UW Bothell, together housing more than five million volumes. UW Libraries received the 2004 Excellence in Academic Libraries Award from the Association of College and Research Libraries, the highest honor a library in North American can receive. In addition to offering instruction in more than 100 academic disciplines, the university offers a spectrum of continuing education UW Quick Facts courses that advance technical and Founded: November 4, 1861 professional skills and provide opportunities for personal growth and Type: Public research university with enrichment. campuses in Seattle, Tacoma, Bothell Washington has 17 major Acreage (Seattle campus): 703 acres in schools and colleges: Architecture north-central Seattle and Urban Planning, Arts and Sciences, Business Administration, Buildings (Seattle campus): 222 (160 Dentistry, Education, Engineering, permanent, 62 temporary) Forest Resources, The Graduate Governance: 10-member board of regents School, The Information School, Law, First Graduating Class: 1876 Medicine, Nursing, Ocean and Fishery Sciences, Pharmacy, Public Affairs, No. of Students in First Graduating Public Health and Community Class: 1 (Clara McCarty) Medicine, and Social Work.

Most freshmen entering Washington are in the top quarter of their high school graduating classes. In 2003, the average incoming freshman boasted a 3.67 high school grade-point average and a combined 1,180 SAT I score. Beyond its academic and service missions, the UW has a strong economic impact on Washington and the Pacific Northwest. With about 25,500 employees, Washington is the second-largest employer in King County. Washington operates the University of Washington Medical Center and Harborview Medical Center, which annually provide more than 200,000 days of patient care and record more than 300,000 visits to their outpatient clinics. Washington also plays a critical role in attracting new business to the region. It provides these, and established businesses, with a steady stream of well- educated graduates and with highly skilled faculty members who assist business and industry in a variety of ways. The University of Washington in Seattle is located on 703 acres in the city's northeast residential area, a beautiful setting on the shores of Lake Washington and Portage Bay. The majestic Cascade Mountains can be seen to the east and the Olympics loom to the west, while the southern view includes downtown Seattle and Lake Union. The combination of this spectacular setting with buildings in both neo-Gothic and modern styles gives the campus a distinctive aura.

147 HUSKY ADMINISTRATION SEATTLE THE EMERALD CITY First-time visitors are astonished at the wealth of natural beauty in and around Seattle. Literally touching the city’s boundaries are thousands of square miles of evergreen forest and hundreds of miles of salt and freshwater shoreline. With this wealth of nature at their doorstep, both residents and visitors concentrate much of their recreation in the outdoors. Bracketed to the east by freshwater Lake Washington, and to the west by saltwater Puget Sound, the city occupies a north-south corridor, slender at the waist and embracing numerous hills. On a clear day, the views of the mountains and water are spectacular. Most of Seattle’s attractions are clustered in pedestrian-scale sections, and are best savored on foot. Central business district buses are free and the Monorail speeds quickly between downtown and the Seattle Center. The crown jewel of Seattle’s attractions is the Seattle Center, the 74-acre legacy of the 1962 World’s Fair. Its distinctive 605-foot Space Needle is the city’s leading landmark and eight million people visit annually. From its lofty observation deck, there’s a 360-degree view of the city and Puget Sound, backdropped by the snowcapped Cascade Range to the east and the Olympic Mountains to the west. Seattle Center is enjoyable in any season but on weekends and fairweather days between April and October, it’s a beehive of activity with outdoor concerts, amusement park attractions, impromptu performances and special events. It is also home to the brand new Experience Music Project, a unique multi-million dollar rock n' roll museum that allows visitors to jam with Jimi Hendrix, or sing a duet with Bob Dylan. Downtown, just two blocks uphill from the water, Pike Place Market is one of the last authentic farmer’s markets in the country. A walk through the colorful old

photo by Seattle-King County Convention & Visitors Bureau market becomes truly a sensory experience as vendors hawk their wares in a dozen different languages; coffee, tea and spice shops assail you with their pungent odors; The Space Needle is the most famous Seattle landmark. and seemingly limitless heaps of fresh fruit, vegetables and seafood stretch away on every hand. Pioneer Square, the city’s preserved historic district, lies adjacent to the southern end of the downtown waterfront. Here the city has its roots, centered around the original Skid Road (Yesler Way), a road originally used to skid timber down from the hills to the Denny Sawmill on Elliott Bay. Many of the fine old brick and sandstone buildings have been painstakingly restored in recent years and a half-dozen square blocks of the district offer excellent shopping and dining as well as historic ambience. The Underground Tours that go beneath the current-day Pioneer Square cobblestones provide a glimpse of Seattle, circa 1890. Just south of Pioneer Square is the historic SoDo District, home to Starbucks corporate headquarters, the Seattle Mariners' SAFECO Field, and Seahawks Stadium, a state-of-the-art outdoor football/soccer stadium that opened in 2002. Seattle’s strong maritime environment comes into sharp focus at Fisherman’s Terminal, home of hundreds of purse seiners and gill net boats. Residents often take time to stroll along the piers, watch fishermen mending their nets and admire the sturdy boats that take these men to sea. Getting out on the water is easy; just board one of the big green and white Washington State Ferries for a ride across the Sound to Bremerton (55 minutes each way) or Bainbridge Island (30 minutes each way). Both ferries move through the bustling harbor traffic, offer a look at the islands and residential shorelines across Puget Sound and provide stunning views of the city skyline and waterfront from Elliott Bay. Seattle is famous for its fresh seafood, especially local clams, oysters, salmon, halibut and crab. The best seafood restaurants also have water views where you can sit beside Puget Sound, Lake Union or Lake Washington and watch the marine traffic. Large Scandinavian and Asian populations add exotic fares of those regions to Seattle menus. Whatever your tastes, Seattle's the place!

148 HUSKY ADMINISTRATION SEATTLE TRIVIA • Seattle’s annual rainfall is just 36 inches — less than that of New York, Atlanta, and Boston.

• The Space Needle, built for the 1962 World’s Fair, is 605 feet tall and can only be painted in Space Needle White, a special type and color of paint.

• The modern phenomena of UFOs and “flying saucers” began in Washington state on June 24, 1947, when Kenneth Arnold spotted nine mysterious, high- objects “flying like a saucer would” along the crest of the Cascade Range. His report made international headlines and triggered hundreds of similar accounts of flying saucers locally and across the nation.

• Seattle’s Lake Washington floating bridge, which crosses Lake Washington from the Mount Baker neighborhood of Seattle across Mercer Island to the eastside community of Bellevue, is the largest floating structure built by the human race. The floating bridge, including its approaches, is 3,387 feet long including 25 floating pontoons 350 feet long by 59 feet wide which are kept in place by 65- ton anchors.

• Seattle was founded on November 13, 1851 by Arthur and David Denny, on Alki Beach in West Seattle. The following spring, the 24 original settlers relocated to the eastern shore of Elliott Bay, where the city sits today.

• The term “Skid Row” or “Skid Road,” now used to describe a city’s low-rent district, was coined in Seattle around 1860 in reference to Yesler Way, down which the city’s pioneers slid fresh-cut logs to be processed at a paper mill on the waterfront.

• At the same time, the citizens of Seattle fixed a chronic plumbing problem by elevating the downtown streets a full story. The remain- ing first-floor storefronts, now ten feet below street level, were sealed, creating “Underground Seattle” which can be toured today.

• Seattle’s first speeding ticket was issued in July 1879 to two men racing horses downtown.

• In the Summer of 1876, Miss Clara McCarthy became the first graduate of the University of Washington. At the time, the University was located downtown on the current site of the Westin Hotel. The pillars which decorated the front of the original building were preserved and can be seen in Sylvan Theater, an open-air grove on the current campus, often used for concerts and weddings.

• Seattle’s Pike Place Market was founded on August 17, 1907, as a city experiment to bring farmers and consumers together without price-gouging middlemen.

• As an 11-year-old, Bill Gates, founder of Redmond, Wash.-based Microsoft, won a free dinner in Seattle’s Space Needle by reciting correctly all three chapters of the Bible known as the “Sermon on the Mount.”

• Seattle has twice been buried under a mountain of ash; in 1889, when a fire spread from downtown’s Pioneer Square and engulfed the city, and again in 1980, with the eruption of Mt. St. Helens.
