Medical Student Rotations at Seattle Children's

Medical Student Parking at SCH and Transportation Info

Parking Information

Orientation Day Parking

  • On the day of orientation (or the day you sign-in) only, you will park in Lot 4. You will need a PIN to enter the lot. The PIN will be included in your sign-in and badging email from the Medical Student Program.
    • Lot 4 looks small when you pull in but keep going–you might need to drive around the corner to find a spot. The map linked above will help!

After Orientation Day Parking

Where you park depends on when you are scheduled to be at the hospital:

  • If you arrive before 6AM or after 10:30AM on weekdays or anytime on a weekend or Children’s-observed holiday, you may park onsite in staff Lots 1, 2, 3 or 4. You will need your badge to get in and out of the lots.
  • If you arrive between the hours of 6AM and 10:30AM on weekdays, you are required to park off-site.
    • Medical students park for free at the NE 65th Lot in Magnuson Park and use the SCH shuttle for transportation between the parking lot and the hospital. The current shuttle schedule is here.
    • Directions: From Sand Point Way, NE, turn into Magnuson Park at the NE 65th St entrance. Park in the lot located across from the Western Fisheries Research Center. Here’s a map of the NE 65th Lot in Magnuson Park.
  • DO NOT park in patient/family/visitor parking.
  • DO NOT park in the neighborhoods around SCH.
  • DO NOT use the River circle for drop-offs; it is for patient drop off and staff shuttles only. Please use the drop-off areas at the Forest or Ocean 7 entrances.
  • Failure to comply with the parking rules will get you ticketed or towed.

NOTICE: You are required to turn in your SCH badge at the end of your rotation but will still be allowed to ride the shuttle to get to your car. Let the driver know that you finished your rotation and returned your badge to the GME office as required.

Other Shuttles and Buses:

Other shuttle options include the UW Health Sciences Express Shuttle, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) Shuttle and the UW/Fred Hutch South Lake Union Shuttle. You can find those shuttle schedules and information here.  Finally, the hospital is served directly by four King Country Metro bus routes: #31, #32, #65, and #75.

Biking Information:

SCH is a bike-friendly workplace and medical students are welcome and encouraged to ride to the hospital. You can find useful information about getting from the Burke-Gilman Trail to the hospital, bike parking and locker room locations here.
