WITH ONE YEAR LEFT TO GO, WE BEGIN EXPLORING UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON FOR OUR SON, RYAN; IT'S A SCARY AND EXHILARATING THOUGHT AT THE SAME TIME

University of Washington's nicknames this library:  "The Harry Potter Reading Room." With it's Gothic appearance, perhaps you can see why.

The Space Needle that has graced Seattle's skyline since 1961.

Ryan and his Dad, Jim, to left, with Cousin Ava, 12, to the right pondering future years at the university. She says she wants to go there to achieve a double major in English literature and history.

A large fountain that graces the  heart of the university can flaunt majestic views of Mount Rainer on clear days. Parents and potential students listen to a tour guide explaining the school's system..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Ryan's mind, no school is complete without a football team. So we peeked into the closed stadium to peer at the University of Washington's football team, the Huskies.
