University of Washington Walk with Neighborhood Walking Ambassadors Cathy & Jake Jaramillo
This stairway walk shows off all the "U-Dub" chestnuts like Red Square, the magnificent Gothic-style Suzzallo Library, Rainier Vista, The Quad, and Drumheller Fountain. But you'll also get to explore places seldom seen by the casual visitor to the University of Washington: the lengthy Wahkiakum Lane stairway; the "Stairs to Nowhere" near the School of Architecture; a surreal outdoor amphitheater, and literally tons of campus art.
