Additional Information

The University of Washington in Seattle was established in 1861. Before 1922 the university experimented with a number of different school mascots including Vikings, Indians, and the Sundogger. In 1922, after calls for a different mascot, the Associated Students of the University of Washington formed a committee to select a new mascot. They landed on the Husky as the school’s official mascot and it has remained the mascot to this day.
