Seattle Location
Currently most Seattle-based weekend workshops are on the Campus of the University of Washington in the "I" wing of the Magnuson Health Sciences Center, room I132-134. The room is just off of the "Rotunda. "
There will be a $4.00 parking charge on Saturday, and park in lower level of S1. There should be no problem with your parking and if questioned say you are attending a course and give the course name and number.
