Customer for over 40 years. Pros: Indie bookstore on the Ave, free validated parking, great place for all Husky Nation stuff and things, Boon Boona café, UW Alumni perks. Cons: still twitchy after all these years whether required books each quarter were available, lol. Proud UW Seattle alum and parent. Go Huskies!

The bookstore used to have a bigger selection of art material / stationary - the fun goods. It’s still fun to shop as an alumni but I wish they would increase the variety in inventory.The staff in the nook floor (first floor) are friendly and gave great recommendations when I was shopping for children’s books.

As always the UW bookstore was exceptional! I had a T-shirt to exchange for a different size. They handled it with no-fuss whatsoever.
A historic bookstore as both one of the country's largest collegiate bookstores and "the great grandparent of all Seattle bookstores," you'll discover the largest range of officially licensed and exclusive Husky gear and apparel, as well as a wide selection of contemporary fiction and non-fiction, Northwest-themed gifts, home goods, professional office and art supplies, and so much more serving greater Seattle residents and UW students.
Founded by students, for students, on January 10, 1900, University Book Store continues to support the University of Washington community by providing students and faculty with affordable and accessible course materials and supplies.
Thank you for supporting our independent bookstore!
