Seattle Pacific University is a Christian university of the liberal arts, sciences and professions, located on the north slope of Queen Anne Hill in Seattle, Washington, USA. It was founded in 1891 by the Oregon and Washington Conference of the Free Methodist Church as the Seattle Seminary. It became the Seattle Seminary and College in 1913, changed names again to Seattle Pacific College in 1915, and took its present name in 1977. Seattle Pacific University is a member of the Christian College Consortium. SPU enjoys a 43-acre campus on the northern slope of the residential neighborhood of... Queen Anne Hill, close to the artsy Fremont neighborhood. Some of the massive trees in the campus' Tiffany Loop are the oldest remaining original trees in Seattle. One of these trees collapsed in Winter 2006, which led to the inspection and removal of three other trees in the vicinity. SPU also owns and operates two satellite campuses: a wilderness field station specializing in biology on Blakely Island in the San Juan Islands and former military fort turned retreat facility at Camp Casey on Whidbey Island.
