University Village, Seattle

University Village (colloquially known as U-Village) is a shopping mall in northeastern Seattle, Washington, United States, located in the south corner of the Ravenna neighborhood to the north of the Downtown area.

[citation needed] it was once home to a Coast Salish village named sluʔwiɫ, which means "Little Canoe Channel" in Lushootseed.

The chairman of QFC, Stuart Sloan, and his business partner Matt Griffin bought the property, and tenants such as those mentioned above began to move out.

(The Ernst and Pay n' Save corporate chains went out of business in the 1990s; adjacent QFC still nominally exists, but as a division of Kroger.)

Anchor tenants today are Bartell Drugs (locally owned 1890-2022), Apple Store,[11] Crate & Barrel, The Gap, and Pottery Barn.
