Our Location

A Zip Code You’ll Remember

Location is an essential part of your college experience and there may be no better zip code that 98033. Kirkland is one of the safest cities in Washington and was recently named by Money Magazine as the 3rd best place to live in U.S. Near campus you’ll find an abundance of restaurants, shopping, theaters, coffee shops, and parks. Just over the bridge, Seattle offers concerts, pro sports, and other major attractions. Not far from campus, recreational opportunities abound on mountains, lakes, and trails. 98033 is the place to be.

What To Do In The Neighborhood

NU sits on 54 acres of rolling green grass and tall evergreens. While there is plenty to do on campus, you’ll find lots of ways nearby to spend your free time with fellow Eagles.

Walk To The Waterfront

Northwest is located near Lake Washington with its many waterfront parks and restaurants. Take a stroll down the boardwalk via Google maps. Better yet, take a dip in the lake once you’re here.

Seattle Awaits

The nice thing about our campus is that you can live in the safety of Kirkland and still have quick access to the big city amenities of Seattle. Check out this time-lapse video for a glimpse of all there is to do and see!

Adventures Everywhere

Whether you walk down to Lake Washington for a swim, hop in the car with friends to shred in the mountains or hike one of its scenic trails, you’ll run out of time before you run out of adventures.

Build A Great Career Here

At NU, we’re surrounded by companies that have changed the world and are hiring. By choosing NU, you’ll find yourself in one of the best job markets in the U.S. In addition to our internships, you can build your career network during the 4 years you spend here so that once you graduate, you are set for success.

We are surrounded by companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Salesforce, Expedia, R.E.I, Starbucks and more.

Seattle, Washington

And don't get us started on beauty. The Pacific Northwest is known as one of the most stunning places to live in the world. Six Washington cities made it into Livability's Top 100 Best Places to Live in the U.S., and four of those cities are within an hour of campus! From breathtaking mountains to the majestic Pacific Ocean, and lakeside parks to the iconic Space Needle and Pike Place Market, Washington is blessed with an incredible landscape. Check out this awesome Seattle time-lapse video.

Space Needle

Seattle is also home to one of the best transit systems in the U.S., according to Business Insider. In fact, we were ranked #7 in the country! The 255 bus line runs by NU's campus entrance, taking you directly to downtown Seattle, where you can stay and see the sights or take the light rail to Sea-Tac International Airport for your flight home for the holidays. Our local public transportation is very reliable and easy to use.

At NU, you'll live in a great place with great people. Stop by for a visit. You'll love what you see.
