{{Main|Campus of the University of Washington}}

UW's main campus is situated in [[Seattle]], by the shores of [[Union Bay (Seattle, Washington)|Union]] and [[Portage Bay]]s with views of the [[Cascade Range]] to the east, and the [[Olympic Mountains]] to the west. The site encompasses {{convert|700|acre|km2|sp=us}} bounded by N.E. 45th Street on the north, N.E. Pacific Street on the south, Montlake Boulevard N.E. on the east, and 15th Avenue N.E. on the west.

[[Red Square (University of Washington)|Red Square]] is the heart of the campus, surrounded by landmark buildings and artworks, such as [[Suzzallo Library]], the ''[[Broken Obelisk]]'', and the [[Statue of George Washington (Seattle)|statue of George Washington]]. It functions as the central hub for students and hosts a variety of events annually. University Way, known locally as "[[The Ave]]", lies nearby and is a focus for much student life at the university.
