西雅图的经验

一个处于前沿的城市

 BG大游 puts you in the center of one of the country's most dynamic cities, a city at the forefront of scientific, 医疗, and technological re搜索 and innovation. 西雅图 is also a hub of global and local philanthropy and social entrepreneurism. It's the city that brought you Bill Gates, 星巴克, 诺德斯特姆, 珍珠果酱, 丽, 以及流行文化博物馆. BG大游 brings you close to the local source of tomorrow's discoveries and solutions. Pike Place Market is the soul of the city. 等量农贸市场, 海鲜摊位, 公众集会场所, 和狂欢节, the market is a sensual and cultural experience that never fails to satisfy.

尽管我们名声模糊, 西雅图's annual rainfall is less than that of New York, 亚特兰大, 或者波士顿. But bring along your umbrella anyway. The rain does have its bright side. 它使温度保持温和, 不要太冷或太热, and helps make the Puget Sound area a verdant landscape year-round. That's why we call Washington the “Evergreen State.“当城里下雨的时候, it's probably snowing in the mountains, laying down good powder for skiing, 滑雪, 和滑雪橇, or just creating breathtaking views of snow-capped peaks.

西雅图ites don't mind the weather. BG大游 are rarely canceled because of rain. We just tuck umbrellas in our backpacks or flip up the hoods of our rain jackets. We even honor the rain by naming one of our music festivals “Bumbershoot,” a 19th-century American term for umbrella.

户外活动

访问ors come from around the world to enjoy the region's outdoor adventures, many less than an hour away from the BG大游 campus. Kayak, bike, fish, climb, or just enjoy the view. On a hot day, take a swim in Lake Washington, 20 minutes downhill from campus.

When there’s fresh powder, you are 45 minutes from the slopes of the Cascade Mountains. 有更多的时间? Climb Mount Rainier to the south or hike the Olympic Mountains to the west.

西雅图 is a year-round center of outdoor adventures. Check out our Outdoor Adventure Recreation group to see what's coming up. In 西雅图, you're never very far from water, and water means beaches. 探索海岸线, 打一点排球, 参观西雅图水族馆, or just wiggle your toes in the sand.

夜生活

西雅图的音乐场景, which exploded in the early nineties with bands like Nirvana, Soundgarden, 珍珠酱, is now being lead by Modest Mouse, 马群, Macklemore, Fleet Foxes and Death Cab for Cutie. 百老汇大街, 邻近校园, stays up late; or head down the hill to Belltown or Pioneer Square.

西雅图运动

西雅图ites take their professional sports seriously. Catch an afternoon Mariners game at Safeco Field. Or maybe the Storm in KeyArena or the Sounders or Seahawks in Century Link Field. 西雅图 is crazy for our it's Major League Soccer team; the Sounders draw the highest average atten跳舞 in the league. Just be sure to get back in time to cheer on the Redhawks.
