The 'U District' has a huge variety of restaurants. They also have some interesting street fairs in the spring and summer. The downside is that parking is expensive.

Lots of: above average places to eat, coffee houses, book stores. Always a nice place to stroll through and people watch. Usually affordable since they cater to UW students. Parking is atrocious. Easier to just pay for parking at the UW bookstore really.

There is a lovely shopping mall here and the area is just nice too for a wander. Had lunch and picked up a few bargains to take home Pretty fountains and a really nice feel to the area

Cheap restaurants and some pretty sleazy street life; unless you have business at the University I would take a quick look at the district and move on.

Lots of beggars and street urchins. I don't really get what the big deal is about this place. Variety of restaurants and stores.

University district has some great areas, drive through the UW campus, visit the boulevard to shop at some great consignment shops then travel to the University Place Mall for some shopping. This area is fun and laid back, a good place for people watching.

The area is well served by public transit. the center of the District is the UW which is big and well worth a visit.
