Seattle is a liberal city, and colleges tend to be more liberal than the general population (there are exceptions, I know). However, you do not need to be a card-carrying member of the ACLU to be admitted either to UW or Seattle U, and those horrible peace signs are really not going to be an intrusion on everyday life. As an alum of both schools, I can tell you that I didn’t spend even 1% of my time there engaging in political activity, or even thinking about it. Your son should decide based on program and fit, not political orientation.

Having said that, eastern Washington is far more conservative than the western part of the state. Gonzaga might be a very good choice for him.
