What to Bring

Seattle weather is generally mild, with temperatures averaging 70–80 °F, 21.1–26.7 °C. Heat waves do occur periodically and campus buildings, including the residence halls, are not air-conditioned. Be prepared for cooler evenings and occasional rain showers.

For those who prefer to bring their own linens and towels, choosing a color other than white helps housekeeping to identify personal items.

Guests are advised to bring an alarm clock, lounge wear (appropriate for common living areas), shower slippers and an umbrella and/or raincoat.

The University of Washington is a pedestrian campus; bring comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk.
