Lodging

There are many hotels available close to the University of Washington and in the greater Seattle area.

Please be aware that many of the University’s schools, colleges, and departments have their own graduation events. These events generally (but not always) take place on or near the UW campus during the week before commencement.

Depending upon your plans, you may want to book lodging near campus or closer to downtown. The downtown core is approximately 7-10 miles from campus.  The driving time is about 15-20 minutes.
