University District

University District (U District) Regional Center Planning

The U District is a diverse and vibrant community, fueled by the state’s largest university and Seattle’s largest employer, the University of Washington. A highly visited neighborhood, beyond those that live and work within its boundaries, the U District saw over 36 million visits in 2025. With many small businesses representing a diverse range of cultures, the U District is home to and welcomes many communities.

We look forward to engaging with you all on the U District’s Regional Center Plan. Please join our mailing list if you’re interested in being part of this planning process.
