Accessible Routes on UW Campus

The UW Seattle campus is deceptively steep, rising from Lake Washington on the east to an elevation of 224 feet at the northwest corner, a rise equal to an 18-story building. Spanning approximately 15 blocks north to south and 25 blocks east to west. Many of the pedestrian pathways have conditions that do not meet accessibility requirements for slope, duration, surface and rails.
