Transportation and Parking

Mass transit in Seattle is run by King County Metro, which offers discounts for qualifying recipients, including students, through Orca Lift—up to half the cost of the fare. Mass transit also runs throughout most of the Puget Sound Area. There’s even a bus line to take you to the Olympic Peninsula. Or take a ferry and check out the islands using the island metro system, or use it to go hiking on the area’s many beautiful trail systems. The AUS campus is within five blocks of major bus lines. If you’re bussing to campus, consider downloading the One Bus Away app for smartphones or use the desktop version to keep track of arrival/departure times in the Puget Sound area.

If mass transit isn’t your thing, street parking and lot parking are available. Antioch also has limited spaces available underneath the building. There are spaces for visitors with disabilities located near the basement elevator for easy access to the second floor of the building.

Monthly parking passes may be a good option for you if you spend most of the day most days a week on campus. If you’re interested in a pass, you must fill out an online application. Passes are available for two locations:

• Garage at 3rd and Battery (33 spaces available; $293.04 per month)

• Outdoor lot at 4th and Battery (24 spaces available; $201.47 per month)

As of September 30, 2024:

As we have in the past, we encourage you to wear a mask while in public settings on campus, but it is not required. Our building’s environmental controls meet very high standards, including HEPA filtration and air volume replacement that is as good as the outdoors on a calm day, so we ask that you use judgment and be thoughtful of our community.  Please keep in mind that any faculty member or event leader may require mask-wearing at any time during a class session or event, as faculty and organizers may be aware of specific sensitivities on the part of a student or participant who does not wish to disclose their health status.  Furthermore, a mask may be required in a private office, shared work or enclosed study space if requested by any occupant.  You will never be asked to remove a mask.  We will continue to adhere to CDC Covid Guidelines and WA DOH Guidelines regarding exposure and isolation.  If you have any questions about testing, exposure, treatment, or prevention, please consult the CDC website.  Do not visit the building if you do not feel well.  Consult with faculty to make alternative arrangements.
