UniversityZone is (from the south, clockwise approximately)
Main University of Washington or UW campus, Northlake, east Fremont, Wallingford, east Woodland Park, Tangletown (or Meridian), Green Lake, and some of North College Park but not Northgate.
Then, east of I-5, going north from west Portage Bay-east Lake Union, is south Roosevelt of the U-Dist and Roosevelt before Maple Leaf;
then in the middle (from Portage Bay, going north and clockwise) is the University of Washington, UniversityDistrict, University Heights, Cowen, UniversityPark, and Ravenna,
with Wedgwood, Bryant, and UniversityVillage going south along the east above the UW IMA--Hec Ed--stadium at the Montlake Cut and Union Bay.
Say, water on the south and southeast, with 45th Avenue NE on the east, Aurora (Highway 99) on the west, and 100th on the north.
or
water on the south and east, including View Ridge and Laurelhurst; Aurora (Highway 99) on the west, and 100th on the north.
.. water on the south and east to Lake Washington, so including south Meadowbrook, south Matthews Beach, View Ridge, Hawthorne Hills, Sand Point, Windermere, and Laurelhurst

100th? That's well into Lake City.
The U-Dist is bordered by Roosevelt and west Ravenna which starts about Ravenna Boulevard. To the southeast is Union Bay, and then to the east of 45th Avenue NE is Laurelhurst. West of I-5 is Wallingford.
It's all really debatable.
Personally I think a better way of dividing up the city is found at cityofseattle.net Guide to maps as census map. The areas are made up of census tracts. [Unfortunately, the neighborhoods have numbers rather than names, and a map key is not provided.]
Works for me. Thirteen zones, add a few for way south, way north, and way east, 17 still fit in our limited claim on the 10.x.x.x space.
