Dorms#
Dorms are all single/double rooms and each contain a private bathroom.
Participants who opt to will be staying at Oak Hall, in north campus. Please Check in after 2pm at the front desk on Sunday, August 6th.
Check out is by 11am on Saturday, August 12th. There will be a room where you can store your luggage if your flight leaves later that day. Please let us know immediately by emailing icesat2-hackweek@uw.edu if you plan on arriving/departing at an earlier/later date.
The front desk can direct you to the South Campus Center where the meetings and courses will be taking place.

The dorms have coin-operated laundry facilities.

All participants are responsible for their own breakfasts and dinners.
Travel#
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport offers a range of connections to the University of Washington Campus.
The Link light rail is an easy, great way to get to the UW campus from the airport. It picks you up at the airport, comes about every 5-15 minutes, and drops you off right on the UW campus; just a 15-minute walk from the dorms you will be staying in.
From the arrivals hall at Sea-Tac Airport, follow the signs for Link Light Rail; the station is a short walk from the terminal on the far side of the parking garage. Tickets must be purchased at the station before boarding. The cost is $3.00 and can be paid in cash or with a credit/debit card. Take the northbound train toward Northgate to the University of Washington station (Note: do not get off at the University Street Station!).
Taxis and uber/lyft are also available from the airport. Note that for Uber/lyft you will meet the car in the 3rd floor parking lot for pick up.
