A historic bookstore as both one of the country's largest collegiate bookstores and "the great grandparent of all Seattle bookstores," you'll discover the largest range of officially licensed and exclusive Husky gear and apparel, as well as a wide selection of contemporary fiction and non-fiction, Northwest-themed gifts, home goods, professional office and art supplies, and so much more serving greater Seattle residents and UW students. Founded by students, for students, on January 10, 1900, University Book Store continues to support the University of Washington community by providing students and faculty with affordable and accessible course materials and supplies.
