Best college towns in America: Seattle, Washington (Home of University of Washington)

Seattle is one of the few cities on this list that is considered one of the biggest in the country. The biggest team in the city is not the college team. That would go to the Seattle Seahawks. There’s also the Mariners, Sounders, and now the Seattle Kraken in the NHL.

However, the University of Washington still holds a special place in Seattle. The campus is amazing. There’s a giant lake right outside the stadium which really makes the ambiance of the football game so much better. Win or lose, Husky fans are getting the best experience inside the stadium because of the amazing views from the seats.

One of the best experiences on the Washington campus is heading up to the stadium on game day by boat. People just dock up and do the tailgate right on the boat. It’s an amazing experience. If you are spending one weekend in the Pacific Northwest, make sure you get to the game by boat.

The big place right off campus to spend time as a tourist is going to “The Ave”. This is where all the big bars and restaurants reside. There are also multiple thrift stores to check and see what second-hand items can come home with you. There are multiple museums to check out, including the Burke Museum of Natural History and Culture.
