The University of Washington Press is the oldest and largest publisher of scholarly and general interest books in the Pacific Northwest. We publish compelling and transformative work with regional, national, and global impact. We are committed to the idea of scholarship as a public good and work collaboratively with our authors to produce books that meet the highest editorial and design standards. We value and promote equity, justice, and inclusion in all our work.

We publish in the following core academic areas: American Studies; Anthropology; Art History / Visual Culture; Asian American Studies; Asian Studies; Critical Ethnic Studies; Environmental History; Native American and Indigenous Studies; US History; and Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

We also publish vibrant nonfiction about the Pacific Northwest and beyond, often in partnership with museums, cultural organizations, and Indigenous nations and communities.
