Universities of Washington State

University of Washington (UW, commonly called U-Dub) was founded in 1861 and is a social research college in Western Washington, United States

UW is the biggest college in the northwestern United States, one of the oldest universities on the west sea-shore and is one of the preeminent research universities in the world.

The college has three campuses, with its flagship campus in Seattle's University District and much less branch campuses in Tacoma and Bothell. Its operating budget for fiscal year 2005 was $3.1 billion.


The Seattle City was one of several settlements in the mid to late 19th century vying for precedence in the newly formed Washington Territory.

In 1854, territorial governor Isaac Stevens recommended the establishment of a college in Washington. Several prominent Seattle-area residents, chief among them Methodist preacher Daniel Bagley, saw the siting of this University as a chance to add to the city's prestige.
