Even if you're not a student or alum, there's so much to enjoy here as a visitor. Highly recommend sneaking a peak inside the Suzallo Library--it looks like something out of Hogwarts, especially the reading room inside. Seriously, step in. The high ceilings, stained glass, and quiet atmosphere are magical. Just be mindful of the students studying inside. The views of Mount Rainier from Drumheller Fountain on a clear day are iconic!!

The skies were clear and Mt Rainier was peeking through the sky as you look through the fountain. I could stay here the whole day and sit and just listen to the water while I gaze through the clear skies! Must see when you're in Seattle!!! Washington Statue was vandalized (shame) but I was able to take a pic from the back overlooking the road. Suzallo Library unfortunately was closed on the weekend of July 4th but the square is beautiful. Not crowded when I came so that was a plus!

When I was enrolled at/attended the University of Washington (2010 to 2012) I walked past the…read moreDempsey Indoor Track and Field building on my way to/from women's intercollegiate club rugby practice. Since then, I passed the building when revisiting some of my training sites on foot. Yesterday and today (Friday 23 February 2024 and Saturday 24 February 2024) I finally made my way inside the building and spectated the 2024 Ken Shannon Invitational (Indoor Tack and Field competition). Parking in the athletics area was available in the E1 lot (open to everyone) and the E18 (open to those with University of Washington permits). The rate for a full day of parking was $7.55 each day. I had no troubles finding a parking space either day. The ticket booth was located across from the main entrance of Dempsey Indoor along the side of the softball field area. Restrooms were along the same stretch as the ticket booth, roughly facing Husky Stadium. The entry fee for each day was $10 for general admission without discount, which I thought was a good deal as events ran for approximately 7 hours on Friday and approximately 4 hours on Saturday. The interior of the facility was well set-up to allow attendees close proximity when viewing contested events. Running events were held on the track at the same time field events were being contested in their designated section of the field. Fencing/barriers guided us spectators to viewing areas to watch the different performers. Bleacher seating was located along the starting area for track events, the triple jump/long jump area, and the pole vault section. Workers were professional and direct in communication. Athletes were tuned in to their surroundings as were the spectators and the coaches. Multiple clocks and screen displays were strategically located towards the ends of the track to communicate results. An announcer provided helpful context for results and music played when not a start of a race.

They teach you well and give you all the techniques you need to be successful in the music industry. This place is filled with young talented musicians all the time. If you want to hear some good classical music performances, go check out the students recitals. They are all amazing and can hear many top class performances. It is so nice to have well classically trained musicians here in Seattle! If you haven't been to this place before, you must go see and hear!

Throughout my two years of studying at the University of Washington, this place has been an…read moreintegral part of my commute and studies. What I love about it are the amenities they offer. Last year, they had multiple microwaves, but this year, they've reduced it to about three. However, they still have microwaves, and there are couches within a few inches of anywhere in the facility. They also have Wi-Fi, a printer, and special events like games, board games, and trivia. There's a refrigerator sink for washing dishes and a place to relax and catch a nap before continuing your studies. The commuters and transfer comments section of the university building holds a special place in my heart. If you're commuting in and around the Seattle area, you should definitely check it out. It has everything you need, including lockers, chargers for cell phones, laptops, and computers. Just check in with staff members, and they'll have anything you need. Don't forget to have your Husky card, as you'll need to tap in to enter and tap in at the staff desk. You'll have to tap in every time you enter the facility, but other than that, it's an amazing place to relax with someone who doesn't live in Seattle.

And it just seemed like some random stuff thrown together for resource desks but that also didn't seem like they were that helpful and being a resource desk that I would want to go to. The only thing it had going for it was tons of places to sit and study The whole thing was very "meh"

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE LAW LIBRARY…read more Below the law school is one of the few public law libraries in the state. Since this is public, it's free for anyone to use and well stocked. That being said, I have noticed that because of budget cuts they stopped updating some series (they're marked with a "!" sticker on the book's binding). If you have a Washington State ID, they'll give you a bar code to use to access online databases such as WestLaw and LexisNexis. The bar code is also for checking out selective items. Also, go to the reference desk and they give you a day-long wifi username and password so you may work on your computer in the library. It is a quiet zone so please don't bring kids or such food items that make noise. There is a law school student section which only those attending UW have access to so don't attempt to go in that zone. Only negative thing I can say about this library is that there is no cell phone reception down there so seldom will a text come through.

This building offers some of the best study areas on campus, as well as a cafe and a large library with a printing station. There is even a huge outdoor patio on the roof that is covered and usable even on the rainiest of days. For study areas, you can choose between the many cafe tables, the outdoor patio with chairs and tables, a lounge with a fireplace and comfortable chairs, modern metal chairs and ottomans spread throughout each of the floors, as well as tons of tables and computer stations on the library. When it is sunny and warm, people study on the steps and front lawn of this building too. If you want to avoid the boisterous underclassmen at Ode, and don't feel like walking up all the stairs to the Suzzalo quiet reading room, I highly recommend the Paccar library as a study area. You even get a stroll through the beautiful quad on your way!

The library is very spacious which allows many students to study here at once with ample space for spreading out their books and notes. Paccar Hall also offers study rooms for students to book online and meet up with their peers to study for upcoming tests and quizzes. One of the best features of Paccar is the food that is available for sale right by the entrance. Students are able to purchase delicious sandwiches, salads, or pasta here. There is also a Starbucks which I enjoyed stopping by before my accounting class!
