Tower Bells at the University of Washington, Seattle
Tower Bells at the University of Washington, Seattle
Change Ringing Tower Bells are featured on this podcast. The inaugural ceremony and ring took place on May 31, 2008. This is the only set of Changing Ringing Tower Bells on the West Coast of the United States. These new bells were installed at Gerberding Hall on the campus of the University of Washington through a donation by the Gordon Stuart Peek Foundation. The tower captain is Rebecca Woodgate, a Senior Oceanographer at UW. This clip is part of a full episode that aired on SCAN TV in Seattle (Comcast channel 77 or Broadstripe [formerly Millennium] channel 23) on Thursday, June 12, 2008 at 6:30 pm PST.

ringing in the fantastic english way
hi every body. I loved the video. the bells soud great!!! How much I’d like a set of bells like these ones for my parish church!!!
Those VIPs have better bell controll than some “experienced” ringers I have met! (sarc)
It the bells quite loud in the ringing chamber it reminds me of a church I have rang in the past. Where the room is right under the bells. As I notice the sally goes through the celing does that have impact on the sounds of the bells ie blocking some of the sounds out as this tower I rang at did.
You would need to contact the ringers there to find out for sure.
I think anyone can go up there and ring the bell upon request and reservation, am I right?
WOW!
BELLENDS!!
The back six sound exactly like our bells. (Well they should..they’re Eijsbouts bells).
(I ring/rang at Abilene, Church of the Heavenly Rest).
We have one set in Arkansas, I have gotten to hear them before, and it is a very beautiful thing to hear! They can be heard for quite a long way, unlike the Carrilon.
By the way…. practice is on Friday evenings between 8:30 & 9:00pm this summer.
I can hear them on E Shelby Street (across the canal)
@ 4:15 is when the real action starts…
if there is one thing the English got right, its change ringing, i’m sooo proud to be english!
well done ringers
I Love this Video and also I checked out your Channel. Very interesting! If you need any help getting this Video and your Channel exposed to were it is top in all the search I found this site called tubeviews.(net) that has took my breath away. I’m working on my 4th Channel now, this one I just made. My Videos are getting so many hits now. Check it out and keep in touch.
Your Video was compiled lovely!
Wow it came round at handstroke.
Ahhh, it runs like this~!!! Heard it for a couple of times.
We need some down here in California! Sound so beautiful and very interesting, hopefully someday I can have the opportunity to ring one.
good
nice set of light bells
St. Andrews Cathedral in Honolulu has a set of 8 change ringing bells. I just did a little video of them after church today (11/9/08). It is posted here. It’s a very nice set of redundant bells from England.
Very nice! There many be no other towers like this in the western US, but there are three not far from Seattle: one in Victoria (Anglican cathedral) and two in Vancouver (Holy Rosary Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, Mission – both Catholic).
très jolie sonnerie!!! félicitations!!
Lots of universitie’s in England do, but I dont know why they have them in america. There bells were hung and cast by EJISBOUTS IN HOLLAND!
Lovely Set of bells, as said by other person, I totally agree with. Just didnt expect a University to have change ringing included.
Striking of the grandsire is GREAT!

Seattle University to the WAC? Doesn't really help build the conference.

Fun fact: Tableau was a project spun out of Stanford in the San Francisco Bay Area and was headquartered there until our early move to Seattle. Today, we came back to our home with the first ever San Francisco Tableau User Group, right where we initially began.
More than 70 people turned out, with equal halves of the audience from the business and IT sectors. People were also evenly split from the SF and Silicon Valley areas.
David Stone of eBay started the meeting by sharing the story of eBay’s Tableau community. There was never any formal announcement about Tableau; people simply started picking it up as they wanted to interact with and visualize the data themselves. Now, the eBay user community stands at an incredible 7,000 users–all organic growth.
