Easy to Get to, and Plenty of Parking
Located approximately 15 miles northeast of downtown Seattle, the campus is easily accessible by bus, car or bicycle. The Burke-Gilman/Sammamish River Trail system also provides direct access to campus.
We have lots of parking available for a $4 daily fee. (Note that we share the campus with Cascadia Community College, so don't let the college sign throw you off!)
