Campus landmarks and cultural venues add an academic and historic character, while University Way NE—known locally as “The Ave”—brings together casual dining, coffee shops, bookstores, and everyday shopping. The U District light rail station and frequent bus service connect the neighborhood to downtown and other parts of Seattle; walking and biking are also practical ways to get around.
