Is UW a graduate-centered school?

As an applicant for the class of 2021 (honors college applicant as well) one of my concerns is that UW is a graduate-centered school. When my parents attended the school nearly 30 years ago as graduates they were given more access to professors and to research funding. Some professors would not even bother to show up to office hours for undergrads or lectures.

I understand that graduate students typically participate in more research and interact with professors more often at almost any school in the country. However, is this factor a bigger problem at UW than other schools or do they just meet the norm?

Thanks in advance for the responses and message me/comment if any clarification is needed.
