Alaska Airlines Partnership

A partnership in new horizons

Alaska Airlines is a steadfast partner in the University of Washington’s mission to serve Washington — and the world. Together, we share values around education, leadership, diversity and philanthropy for the greater good.

As two world-class organizations with roots in Seattle, our Puget Sound partnership powers the economic engine of our state. From Tacoma to Bothell, the Alaska Airlines Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion and all around the Pacific Northwest, Alaska is helping students unleash possibilities — and potential.


Our partnership transforms the lives of students and all of the people we serve.
