Seattle University is a Jesuit, Catholic institution of higher education based in Seattle, Washington, founded in 1891. It sits on a 50-acre campus in the Capitol Hill neighborhood and offers undergraduate and graduate programs across six schools and colleges. The university emphasizes experiential learning and a values-based education within an inclusive environment intended to foster community and belonging, in alignment with its broader mission in a technology-focused city. Approximately 7,200 students are enrolled across undergraduate and graduate programs, and the alumni network exceeds 90,000, with many graduates remaining in Washington and contributing to the Puget Sound region. Graduates have gone on to work for major employers in the area and beyond, including Amazon, Boeing, Costco, Microsoft, and Seattle Children's. In June 2026, Seattle University filed a building and land use pre-application for the development of a new multi-sport indoor training facility on its Seattle campus at 550 14th Ave, reflecting ongoing capital development.
