Parking
Parking permits are required on UW campus Monday through Friday, 6:00am to 9:00pm, and Saturdays from 7:00am until noon. You will not need a campus parking permit after 12:00 noon on Saturday and all day Sunday.
Gatehouses may not be open on the weekend. Most lots have self-serve parking (pay machines or pay-by-phone app), so you can skip the gatehouse.
The closest lot to the HUB is Padelford Garage (levels N20-N21) and the closest lot to Mary Gates Hall is the Central Plaza Garage (levels C02, C03, C04). Please note carefully whether you are parking on a level designated for visitor parking.
For detailed information and rates see UW Visitor Parking.

If you are taking the train or bus in from out of town, you may find it convenient to transfer to the Link in downtown Seattle.
The King County Metro system also provides service throughout the region.
