Located on the picturesque Puget Sound, the City of University Place is home to over 31,500 active residents. Halfway between the state capitol of Olympia and the state’s largest city, Seattle, the City boasts beautiful scenic views of the Olympic Mountains, Mount Rainier and the Puget Sound, and is the ideal launching point to the Pacific Northwest.

University Place is also a destination in itself, with something to offer everyone, including parks, wetlands and preserves, miles of walking and bike paths, dozens of locally owned businesses, and a world class golf course, the critically acclaimed Chambers Bay, which hosted the world’s finest golfers and golf fans for the U.S. Amateur in 2010 and will host the U.S. Open in 2015. 

Since becoming a City in 1995, University Place, through the leadership of an active citizenry, has developed into an ideal place to live, work, and play. Whether you’re a life long resident or a first time visitor, there’s something for you in University Place.
