<p>Seattle (U Dub) has PLENTY of mountains in view and it is a short drive to get to them.</p>
<p>OP – Do you want the VIEW of the mountains or do you want to be ON a mountain? When you are in/on the mountains you can roll out of your dorm and hike/climb (Sewanee). If you just want a view and the ability to hike a few times a semester, then University of Washington should remain in the mix.</p>
