Glenn Mar photo The Emerald City Reigning as the Northwest's crown jewel IIThat has the University of Washington got that probably every other school in the nation would want? It’s got Seattle! Seattle, better known as the Emerald City, is comparable to any other major city in the nation although its size is far smaller than cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles. Its skyline is as recognizable as New York and San Francisco thanks to the presence of the Space Needle and the newly built Columbia Center. The Pike Place Market is nationally recognized as one of the best outdoor markets in the nation and the waterfront is a tourist's delight. Major league sports teams, world premiere movies, touring Broadway shows, operas, classical and rock music, all find a home in Seattle. But what makes Seattle unique is its location. From the majestic peaks of Mount Rainier to the depths of Puget Sound, and all points in between, there is always something to do in Seattle. For the adventurer there is either waterskiing on Lake Washington or snowskiing at Stevens Pass; most do both in the same day. Sports enthusiasts kept busy cheering for Seattle’s Seahawks, Mariners, Sonics, and. of course, the UW Huskies. But for those who just want a little peace and quiet, a ferry boat ride across Puget Sound to either Bremerton or Bainbridge Island is a novel way to enjoy the sunset. If shopping is your bag, the many malls, such as Bellevue Square, Northgate, Southcenter, Alderwood Mall, and shops in Seattle keep money flowing from the shopper's pockets to the stores' registers. You can take LA and NY because Seattle has it all. Clean water and blue skies have kept Seattle the jewel of the Northwest. Now it has everything else LA and NY would want. Sophomore Rebecca Kosec put it best when she said, If you put the UW in a city other than Seattle it probably wouldn't have such a high attendance rate. Other than its national reputation and educational qualities, the reason I came to the UW is because of Seattle. I love it! By Nina G. Melencio Seattle sites 9

ERECTED IN 1962 FOR THE WORLD'S FAIR. Seattle's Space Needle was to be a symbol of the future, but it has also became Seattle's most distinctive landmark. Its unique shape is as associated with Seattle as the Eiffel Tower is to Paris. GUm Mar photo

DENNY HALL, the oldest building on campus, is the perfect example of the compatibility between the old and the new. The traditional sounds of the bells pealing from its tower are created, not by a person ringing the bells, but by a recording of the chimes.

Lohman photo USUALLY A VERY POPULAR and dependable means of transportation, this bicycle went on an unexpected vacation. For over a week hundreds of bike riders found themselves slipping and sliding to class on their own two feet. Glenn Mar photo 10 snow
