Getting to Seattle:
All major airlines fly into Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac). The airport is about 30 minutes south of Seattle by car. Rental cars and shuttles are available at the airport.
Driving to the University of Washington campus:
from NORTH: From I-5 southbound, take the #168B exit (this is a left exit towards Bellevue/Kirkland) to State Route 520. Take the first exit off SR520; the sign will point to Montlake Boulevard. Turn left onto Montlake Blvd. and cross the bridge. Turn left at the first traffic light, which is NE Pacific Street. Follow the map to the S-1 gatehouse on the south side of the health sciences complex.
from SOUTH (including the airport): From I-5 northbound, take exit #168B onto State Route 520 (towards Bellevue/Kirkland). Take the first exit off SR520; the sign will point to Montlake Boulevard. Turn left onto Montlake Blvd. and cross the bridge. Turn left at the first traffic light, which is NE Pacific Street. Follow the map to the S-1 gatehouse on the south side of the health sciences complex.
from EAST (of Lake Washington): Take State Route 520 to the Montlake Boulevard exit. Continue north on Montlake Blvd. and cross the drawbridge. Turn left at the first traffic light, which is NE Pacific Street. Follow the map to the S-1 gatehouse on the south side of the health sciences complex.
Getting to the Department of Surgery conference room for your interview session:
If you drive:
- When you pull away from the S-1 gatehouse, turn right and then make an immediate left into the S-1 parking garage.
- At this point you have an option to drive up (to the left) into the middle level of the garage or drive down (to the right) into the lower level. We suggest parking in the middle level of the garage as it is the only level that provides direct access into the medical school. Try to park towards the far end (east end) of the garage.
- Enter through the door labeled "Hosptial" along the north wall at the far end.
- Follow the hallway to the end. The doors at the end of the hall (on the right) will open automatically. Go through the doors to the elevators.
- Take the elevators up to the 4th floor.
- Exit the elevator slightly left and walk straight down the hall. You will find RR401 about 3/4 of way down the hall on the left.
If you are dropped off:
- Enter the UW medical center through the main entrance located behind the circular driveway. You will be on the third floor of the hospital and the information desk will be directly in front of you.
- Turn right and walk to the end of the lobby.
- Turn left and take the Pacific elevators to the 4th floor.
- Exit the elevator and turn left through double doors. The carpeted floor will change to bare floor. Walk approx. 100+ feet down the hallway.
- Turn left down the first hallway and follow it past a set of elevators. RR401 will be on your right beyond the large metal recycle bin.
- LOST? Call 543.3654 or 543.3687 for help (from any phone in the building, you need only dial the last five digits).
