If you want to drive from downtown Seattle to the University of Virginia, the distance is about 2,800 miles (4,480 kilometers), which is similar to driving from Urumqi, Xinjiang to Fuzhou, Fujian. )
If you want to fly, the distance between the two places is about 2535 miles (4079 kilometers). It takes about 5 hours to go there by plane.
So the distance between these two places is very far.
I hope I can help you. Thank you.
Have fun.
