University of Washington Bothell
The University of Washington Bothell (UW Bothell or UWB) is a campus of the University of Washington and is located in Bothell, Washington. It was founded in 1989 and is one of the three campuses of the University of Washington, alongside the Seattle main campus and UW Tacoma. The campus is located near the junction of Interstate 405 and State Route 522; it is shared with Cascadia College, a public community college.
UW Bothell is led by a chancellor who leads the campus and reports to the president and provost of the University of Washington.
University of Washington Bothell was founded in 1989 when it was granted the approval of the Washington State Legislature, in order to expand access to the University of Washington for students in mainly King and Snohomish counties. The university began with a staff of 12 faculty members and a class of 143 students. Its first classes were held in fall 1990, and its first graduating class — of three students — completed their degrees in 1991. The permanent campus was built in the 1990s on a 115-acre (47 ha) cattle ranch that had been previously proposed for a regional shopping mall. Dr. Warren Buck III was appointed the university's first chancellor in July 1999 and served until June 2005. Over the course of his chancellorship, he oversaw the university's transition into a four-year institution and the establishment of its permanent campus in 2000.
In 2005, UW bothell was changed to a 4 year university accepting high school graduates. In 2020, CNBC listed it as the public university that paid off the most, placing it ahead of the Seattle Campus (#3), Purdue University (#4), the University of Michigan (#5), UC Berkeley (#8), and UCLA (#10). In fall 2024, a new residential village opened providing more housing options to students.
UW Bothell offers 33 undergraduate degree programs and fifteen master's degree programs among five schools:
UWB falls under the accreditation of the University of Washington and students receive a University of Washington degree. In 2025, UW Bothell was classified a "Research College and University".
UW Bothell's campus is shared with Cascadia College, however most buildings serve exclusively UW Bothell or Cascadia College. Buildings on campus include Founders Hall, Commons Hall, Discovery Hall, Innovation Hall, Husky Hall, and the Beardslee building. The Library as well as the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) are shared between UW Bothell and Cascadia college. East of the main campus, there are volleyball, basketball, tennis, baseball, softball, football, and soccer facilities. There is also a boardwalk that extends out to North Creek as well as a bike trail that goes to the North Creek Trail as well as the Sammamish River Trail.
UW Bothell is served by many different bus routes. The main bus stop is located between the residence halls and academic buildings. The bus stop is on a bus-only loop with shelters and seats for passenger comfort. Passengers that want to go to the Seattle campus can take the 372. In the future, Stride line 3 will serve the campus, providing faster connections to Seattle.[citation needed]
