In 2014, the University of Washington School of Oceanography and the UW Applied Physics Laboratory completed the construction of the first [[Regional Scale Nodes|high-power underwater cabled observatory]] in the United States. [[Gabrielle Rocap]], one of the researchers who discovered arsenic-breathing microbes in the Pacific, is part of the department's faculty.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Arsenic-breathing life discovered in the tropical Pacific Ocean |url=https://www.washington.edu/news/2019/05/01/arsenic-breathing-life-discovered-in-the-tropical-pacific-ocean/ |access-date=March 18, 2022 |website=UW News |language=en |archive-date=February 17, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220217233911/https://www.washington.edu/news/2019/05/01/arsenic-breathing-life-discovered-in-the-tropical-pacific-ocean/ |url-status=live |author-first1=Hannah |author-last1=Hickey |date=May 1, 2019 |publisher=University of Washington }}</ref>

To promote equal academic opportunity, especially for people of low income, UW launched ''Husky Promise'' in 2006. Families of income up to 65 percent of state median income or 235 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible. With this, up to 30 percent of undergraduate students may be eligible. The cut-off income level that UW set is the highest in the nation, making top-quality education available to more people. UW President Mark Emmert said that being "elitist is not in our DNA".<ref name="Jaschik-2006">{{cite web |last=Jaschik |first=Scott |url=http://insidehighered.com/news/2006/10/13/aid |title=Inside HigherEd Husky Promise |publisher=Insidehighered.com |date=October 13, 2006 |access-date=June 30, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120729000445/http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2006/10/13/aid |archive-date=July 29, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Depts.washington.edu-2006">{{cite web |url=http://depts.washington.edu/mediarel/news/promise.shtml |title=UW Husky Promise |publisher=Depts.washington.edu |date=October 11, 2006 |access-date=June 30, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120531011316/http://depts.washington.edu/mediarel/news/promise.shtml |archive-date=May 31, 2012 |url-status=live }}</ref>

Alan Michelson, now Head of the Built Environments Library at UW Seattle, manages the '''Pacific Coast Architecture Database''' (PCAD), which Michelson started in 2002 while he worked as Architecture and Design Librarian at the [[University of California, Los Angeles]] (UCLA).
