All locations are within walking distance of each other and participants will be expected to walk between event locations. Keep in mind that the winter in Seattle may be cool and rainy, so come prepared with warm clothes and rain gear! If you have accessibility concerns, contact the organizers at uw.cuwip2019@gmail.com to arrange transportation.

All meals will be provided during the conference from dinner on Friday, January 18th to lunch on Sunday, January 20th. If you find yourself in need of additional meals or coffee near campus, we recommend any of the restaurants on University Way NE ("The Ave").

The map at the bottom of this page shows conference buildings (with purple stars), hotels (with a green bed), the UW light rail station (with a blue bike), our favorite coffee/restaurants (with red icons).

Lodging for attendees is at University Inn and Watertown Hotel (both shown on the map below). It is a 15-20 min walk to all campus locations.

Rooms are provided for attendees for the nights of January 18th and 19th only.

All rooms have two beds and will be shared between two attendees. Roommates will be randomly assigned. Special requests regarding housing may be made by emailing us uw.cuwip2019@gmail.com.

Upon arrival: We will provide transportation to the hotels from the Washington Link Station. If you arrive before check in, bags can be stored at your hotel.

During the conference: For participants staying at University Inn, a continental breakfast will be provided at the hotel. For all other participants, a continental breakfast will be provided in the Physics Building (PAB) foyer.

Due to the close proximity, attendees will be expected to walk from their lodging location to conference locations. Parking is included at the hotels. Do not drive to campus if you are staying at the hotels. If you have accessibility concerns, contact the organizers at uw.cuwip2019@gmail.com to arrange transportation.

On Sunday: Please ensure that you check out of your room in the morning before coming to the first scheduled conference event. Bags then may be stored at the conference where a local organizing committee member will be stationed all day.
