Harry the Husky

The mascot was introduced in 1921 and retired three years later when it got lost in Bush Auditorium, and the university adopted the nickname "Huskies.

Due to the size of the animals, difficulties of travel, logistics, and handler schedules, the mascots generally only appear at home football games.

"[4] Coincidentally, the mascot had already been referred to by that name during a scene in The 6th Man, a film starring Marlon Wayans about the University of Washington basketball team, that had been released prior to the vote.

The new husky made his debut on October 9, 2010 at the home game against the Arizona State Sun Devils.

Harry has been seen at every football game since his inception, and you can frequently run into him at other sporting events on campus such as basketball, volleyball, baseball, softball, and more.
