the University District (or, affectionately, the "U" District), has highbrow cultural attractions and a motley mix of
retail shops and restaurants, that appeal to the University's student population. Within the beautiful, castle-like façade
of the University of Washington campus is the Burke Museum (a natural history museum packed with fossils from the Northwest),
the Henry Art Gallery, and the Meany Theater. Outside of the campus, on "The Ave," one can find fun vintage clothing
shops and affordable ethnic cuisine.
North of the University District, life resumes to normal in the quiet
suburban communities of Ravenna, Laurelhurst, and Northgate.
