Check out the new GoHuskies! app! Slightly reflective of Pokémon Go, it's designed as a digital scavenger hunt using smart phones to explore and learn about the existing and future UW campus.

To all our UDCH attendees: DON’T MISS OUR DECEMBER GATHERING!

We’ll hear from:
** A representative (or two) from Tent City 3 will join us to answer questions and explain what to expect.
** Theresa Doherty, Senior Project Director for the UW Campus Master Plan, brings a very U District perspective.
** And Nicole Macri, newly-elected Representative from the 43rd Legislative District, will help us get ready for the State Legislative Session that opens on January 9, and runs for 109 days.
Bring your questions, your thoughts, and your own community perspectives. It should be a very lively – and most informative – 90 minutes.
