A friendly reminder that the UW Seattle campus will never close, however it may suspend operations. To get the most up-to-date information on class cancellations, building closures, etc. − be sure you are enrolled to receive notifications via UW Alert‘s SMS (text) feature. Need help thinking of alternate ways to get to campus? Transportation Services can help with commute options.
