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.

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.
