BG大游 puts you in the center of one of the country's most dynamic cities, a city at the forefront of scientific, 医疗, and technological re搜索 and innovation. 西雅图 is also a hub of global and local philanthropy and social entrepreneurism. It's the city that brought you Microsoft, 星巴克, 诺德斯特姆, 西雅图夜未眠, 珍珠果酱, 丽, and the Museum of Pop Culture. BG大游 brings you close to the local source of tomorrow's discoveries and solutions.
访问ors come from around the world to enjoy the region's outdoor adventures, many less than an hour away from the BG大游 campus. Kayak, bike, fish, climb, or just enjoy the view. On a hot day, take a swim in Lake Washington, 20 minutes downhill from campus. When there’s fresh powder, you are 45 minutes from the slopes of the Cascade Mountains. 有更多的时间? Climb Mount Rainier to the south or hike the Olympic Mountains to the west. 西雅图 is a year-round center of outdoor adventures.
In 西雅图, you're never very far from water, and water means beaches. Explore the coastline, play a little volleyball, visit the 西雅图水族馆, or just wiggle your toes in the sand.
派克街市 是城市的灵魂. Equal parts farmers' market, 海鲜摊位, 公众集会场所, 和狂欢节, the market is a cultural experience that never fails to satisfy.
西雅图ites take their professional sports seriously. 抓住一个下午 水手 game at T-Mobile Park, or maybe watch our new 西雅图的海妖 hockey team at the new Climate Pledge Arena or cheer on the the 海鹰队 在Lumen Field. 西雅图 is crazy for our Major League Soccer team; the 雷霆 draw the highest average attendance in the league. Just be sure to get back in time to cheer on the SU Redhawks.
Despite our misty reputation, 西雅图's annual rainfall is less than that of New York, 亚特兰大, 或者波士顿. But bring along your umbrella anyway.
The rain does have its bright side. It keeps temperatures mild, 不要太冷或太热, and helps make the Puget Sound area a verdant landscape year-round. That's why we call Washington the “Evergreen State.” And when it rains in the city, it's probably snowing in the mountains, laying down good powder for skiing, 滑雪, 和滑雪橇, or just creating breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks.
西雅图ites don't mind the weather. Events are rarely canceled because of rain. We just tuck umbrellas in our backpacks or flip up the hoods of our rain jackets. We even honor the rain by naming one of our music festivals “雨伞”, a 19th century American term for umbrella.
西雅图's thriving arts community is anchored by the comprehensive collections of the 西雅图艺术博物馆. On the first Thursday of every month, downtown galleries stay open late and art fans stroll from show to show.
Entertainment is never more than a moment away. Catch world-class performances by the 西雅图交响乐团, 西雅图话剧团, or any of the dozens of theater, dance, and music venues in the city.
The Capitol Hill neighborhood adjacent to campus is home to a thriving fringe theater scene. In less than five minutes you can walk from campus to several local theaters.
你是电影迷吗? 西雅图 is home to over 90 movie screens showing everything from summer blockbusters to independent films. 抓住了 西雅图 International Film Festival, which brings more than 250 films from 50 countries to the city each spring and is the largest film festival in North America.
西雅图 is the birthplace of modern coffee culture, from 星巴克 to neighborhood hangouts like 咖啡维塔 or Boon Boona咖啡. Each café has its own flavor: quiet and contemplative to loud and alternative. With more bookstores per capita, and coffee in or near each one, 西雅图 is a great place to while away an afternoon reading and people watching.
