Coming in September, 200 new University of Washington undergraduate, graduate, and exchange students and scholars from all over the world will tour Queen Anne and a few other Seattle neighborhoods as part of a learning game. Called the FIUTS Seattle Challenge — FIUTS stands for Foundation for International Understanding Through Students — students will discover clues that lead them around the neighborhood and the city.

The Seattle Challenge on September 18th will lead students through Seattle neighborhoods for a lively and interactive experience designed to introduce them to our area’s public transportation, distinct neighborhoods, businesses, parks, culture, and major attractions. Students will sample coffee and snacks at various Seattle cafés, take photos with famous landmarks, meet local businesspeople, solve puzzles, and much more while making new friends along the way

If your business would like to get involved, please contact FIUTS Manager of Student Programs Nicole Comforto at 206.685.1548 or nicole@fiuts.org.

40 – 50 groups of four students each will meet a FIUTS Facilitator – a current student leader – at each location to pick up clues which will direct them to their next destination. Each group will start in the University District and end Downtown and at the Seattle Center. Neighborhoods visited will include Wallingford, Fremont, Greenlake, Ballard, Lower Queen Anne, Capitol Hill and the International District. Students will use the Metro Bus System to learn how to get around town.

FIUTS invites local businesses and organizations to host clues for the event. Participation in the Seattle Challenge is a great way to introduce a brand-new audience to your business. We welcome creative ideas such as coupons, samples, and Seattle trivia as a part of the activity.
