A
University of Washington
Established in 1861, the University of Washington was first built downtown on the site of the present Fairmont Olympic Hotel. The university moved to its present location along Lake Washington’s Union Bay in 1895. Much of the 639-acre site constituted the grounds of the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. Dozens of new buildings were constructed for this gathering, which was similar to a World’s Fair.
