Check out the new GoHuskies! app! Slightly reflective of Pokémon Go, it's designed as a digital scavenger hunt using smart phones to explore and learn about the existing and future UW campus.

To start the scavenger hunt, simply search for GoHuskies in the app store. Once you download the app, you can begin to explore the campus with your own pack of huskies to seek out specific destinations related to:

• architecture and landscapes;
• entrepreneurship and collaboration;
• arts and culture; public art; and
• future planning efforts

OPINION: Too much of the discussion about Seattle’s proposed upzone for the University District has focused on only part of the proposal, missing many of the benefits, writes guest columnist Rick Mohler. The plan proposes a balance between growth, livability, affordability and sustainable urbanism.

U District upzone offers a host of welcome benefits The proposed upzone of the University District provides many benefits too often missed in the public discussion, writes guest columnist Rick Mohler.

U District Conversation on Homelessness

DATE/TIME: Wednesday, December 7th, 9:30 – 11:00am.
LOCATION: at University Congregational Church, 4515 16th Ave NE, Seattle. first floor chapel.

To all our UDCH attendees: DON’T MISS OUR DECEMBER GATHERING!

Here are TWO REASONS: Homelessness is on everybody’s mind, at every level. And, Tent City 3 is coming to the UW on December 17, for 90 days! We have invited some key people, from every level, to keep us informed and able to be effective as events unfold.

We’ll hear from:
** A representative (or two) from Tent City 3 will join us to answer questions and explain what to expect.
** Theresa Doherty, Senior Project Director for the UW Campus Master Plan, brings a very U District perspective.
** And Nicole Macri, newly-elected Representative from the 43rd Legislative District, will help us get ready for the State Legislative Session that opens on January 9, and runs for 109 days.

Bring your questions, your thoughts, and your own community perspectives. It should be a very lively – and most informative – 90 minutes.

"He believes the UW’s new emphasis on innovation could physically transform the very city itself, making the University District into an innovation district, where newly created business spinoffs set up their first offices, sustained by one another’s energy and ideas and by their proximity to the university."

UW innovation chief Vikram Jandhyala takes aim at social issues With a "one of a kind" electrical engineer in charge — Vikram Jandhyala — the University of Washington is exploring how innovators and entrepreneurs can advance the social good, rather than just make money.

Response on behalf of Theresa Doherty, Senior Project Director of the UW Seattle Campus Master Plan:
There is no plan to do away with the climbing rock on the UW campus. The Campus Master Plan identifies 85 development sites - twice as many potential development sites than the UW expects to use during the life of the plan in order to allow for flexibility in meeting space needs identified over time. About half of the 85 sites would be needed to address the University’s growth needs. For any development site that is chosen, and where there is an existing facility, such as the climbing rock, the UW’s process for addressing existing uses includes considering feasible options such as incorporating existing uses to replacing existing uses on site or elsewhere on campus as well as shifting the footprint of a potential development site to accommodate both the existing use and the new building.
