The School
The University was founded in 1861, and is one of the oldest universities on the West Coast. In 1854, territorial governor Isaac Stevens recommended the establishment of a university in the Washington Territory.
The Mascot
The Husky was chosen in 1922 to replace the "Sun Dodger", a reference to Seattle weather. The Husky was selected because it was easy to cartoon and short enough to fit in newspaper headlines. The Husky also captures the spirit of the Northwest, the "Gateway to the Alaskan frontier".
