Operations updates amid COVID-19 outbreak

Due to the public health guidelines geared toward slowing the spread of COVID-19, the Othello-UW Commons closed to the public beginning March 17, and will remain closed until further notice. We will continue to monitor public health recommendations and share updates about Othello-UW Commons operations here and on our website.

Othello-UW Commons staff are working remotely during this time; please email us if you have any questions. For frequently updated information about COVID-19, precautions that the University is taking and prevention measures you can take, as well as links to past campus messages and to public health agencies, visit the University’s central coronavirus website.

We continue to accept and process requests for spring and summer 2020. Please keep in mind, though, that public health recommendations or mandates may require changes, postponements or cancellations to events. We are anticipating the continued need to close to the public or operate with limited hours. We will continue to communicate and do our best to serve you.

• We welcome community-engaged events and programs sponsored by UW and/or community organizations in Southeast Seattle.
• Request the space through our website.
• Note that ALL space reservation requests need to be made online through our website. No reservation requests are accepted via phone or email.
