W Day

Together UW

Two students smiling and holding up their W Day stickers on the plaza.

Every year on W Day, Huskies turn the world purple and gold, coming together to share their love for the UW. What began in 2011 as the University’s 150th anniversary celebration now lives on as an annual tri-campus party.

So, let’s celebrate what it means to be a Husky! All are welcome at this free, community event on the UW Bothell campus.
