You can take any of the 70 series or 40 series to the University District, the HUB can be found in the attached map....or follow these handy directions:
Directions to the HUB coming from I-5 and SR-520
- From I-5 north or southbound, take SR-520 east (exit 168B).
- From SR-520 east or westbound, take the Montlake Blvd NE exit.
- Turn north onto Montlake Blvd and continue north [toward Husky Stadium].
- Stay to the right as you cross Montlake Bridge, continue north on Montlake Blvd past Husky Stadium. (DO NOT take the NE Pacific St. fork to the left.)
- Once past Husky Stadium, move to the far left lane.
- After the third pedestrian underpass, you will notice a fork in the road and a traffic light. At the light, take the left fork onto 25th Ave NE.
- At the next traffic light, (before the sky ramp up NE 45th) turn left onto Pend Orielle Road and proceed up the hill.
- Stop at the gatehouse (Gate #3) for directions and to purchase a parking permit.
Depending on availability, you will be asked to park in one of several lots located near the HUB. Ask the parking attendant for a campus map and directions from your parking area to the HUB.
If you pay the daytime rate (6 a.m. - 4 p.m.) for your parking permit but stay less than 4 hours, stop at the gate as you leave for a partial refund.
Disabled Guests
Upon entering campus at any gatehouse, a visitor who is mobility impaired should self-identify in order to be accommodated. Visitors will be assigned parking in a "disabled" area as close to the HUB as possible, usually N-22. Parking permits for disabled and wheelchair areas cost the same as for other UW parking areas.
Vehicles parked illegally are subject to citation or towing.
Delivery / Load / Unload Parking @ the HUB
Parking on or near the University of Washington and the HUB is extremely congested. Load zones and/or loading docks have been provided for your convenience at many locations. Please note that load zones are time restricted, usually for 30 minutes.
Depending on the nature of your delivery, you will either be directed to the HUB loading dock (LD), or asked to park in one of several lots located near the HUB (N-22 and other lots require a parking permit). Ask the attendant for a campus map and directions.
Delivery personnel must abide by the following guidelines when driving onto campus:
- Stop at a gatehouse for directions and a permit.
- Have purchase order number(s), delivery or packing slip or other ID available upon entry.
- Drivers of unmarked delivery vehicles MUST stop at a gatehouse for a parking permit.
- Do not park on campus sidewalks, grounds, or roadways no matter how short a time your delivery may take.
Vehicles parked illegally are subject to citation or towing.
Complimentary Parking
The University provides complimentary parking in many lots on weekday evenings from 9:00 p.m. until 6:00 a.m. the following morning, from 9:00 p.m. Friday until 7:00 a.m Saturday, from noon Saturday until 6:00 a.m. Monday, and on University holidays and holiday weekends.
