BE VERY VERY AWARE AND RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN!!!! This site is a scam, they sell worthless copies of very expensive works. It even happened with my own work. The very least expensive and smallest piece produced sells for $6500. My average piece sells for around $100,000. They had a forgery of my work listed for $200. I was shocked to discover that even after informing them that they were selling counterfeit work, they ignored me and still went ahead, and knowingly sold an obvious, fake. If you have been ripped off by this website, I highly encouraged you seek legal help in holding them accountable and please get your money back. If you are now in possession of a fraudulent piece of artwork that was sold. This crime is a felony and will land both you and bidsquare in prison for many years. This is incredibly serious from a legal standpoint, and absolutely unacceptable, please report to law enforcement imidiatly if you do not want to be caught up in highly illegal activity or you will be going to prison for knowingly, possessing...
Read moreRed Square, so-called because of the red brick paving, is more or less the divide between north campus - liberal artsy/business/ social sciency, the Quad with spring cherry trees, etc. - and south campus, with its computer science/engineering/hard science focus, Rainier Vista, & Drumheller Fountain. Red Square, which isn't square, is bounded by two libraries, a performing arts venue, a large lecture hall, and Gerberding Hall, which houses a lot of the UW's admin offices. The Obelisk, a large modern art sculpture, & a traditional bronze statue of George Washington "live" on Red Square.

It tends toward the scorching hot (for Seattle) in the summer and bone-chilling wet & windy in winter. However, there are lunchtime food trucks & food beneath one of the libraries when classes are in session , and the landscaping makes it perfect for skateboarding, which is completely...
Read moreFine if you don't have mobility issues, but mostly meh.
So this is most relevant for people who use mobility aids to walk, but might be useful for anyone else - the bricks are slick!!!
The surface of Red Square is there in the name: red brick, and it gets pretty slippery when it's wet out, which is a lot of the time in Seattle. It is pretty smooth, so there's little fear of tripping, but a slip on this surface is going to hurt and, since it's a wide open space, very hard to get back on your feet. Also, most of the buildings connected to the square are step ups, the accessible ramps are located off to the sides, so you can avoid the square of you want.
The architecture isn't to my tastes, it's not safe for me, and I don't have a reason to be there since I can access all the buildings from other, more attractive angles, so...it's fine.
This is a good location for student events and room for plenty of booths, which I believe is the intended...
