Directions
From I-5, Take exit 169 and drive east on NE 45th Street approximately 1/2 mile to 15th Avenue NE, (the NW corner of campus). Turn right and drive South on 15th Ave. NE., crossing the Pacific St. intersection. Continue 1 block south, following the road as it veers left. Stop at the Gate 6 parking kiosk to purchase a parking permit and get directions. Download a PDF document with the directions, a map, and a picture of the Meeting site. See also a Google map of the location.
Parking
There are two basic options; an expensive one and a less expensive one. Here they are:
Less Expensive optionPark at the gym (called the IMA) parking lot. This costs $6 but is a little further away (MUST BE PAID IN CASH). From I5 going south take exit 169 towards NE 45th st, turn left on NE 45th st, continue on NE 45th st for about a mile until you go down a hill along a concrete bridge, at the bottom of the bridge turn right onto Montlake blvd., stay in the left lane and turn left into the IMA parking lot for which there should be a lane and a sign. Go to the bottom of the road you turned into and into the parking lot. Once you park you'll have to walk over to Foege. To do this cross over the landbridges that cross montlake and get on the Burke-Gilman trail, turn left and follow the trail until you reach 15th and Pacific, to your left is Foege. I will put up signs to direct you from here.
Parking location.
More expensive option
Park in S1 behind the hospital. This costs $12, is closer, but
sometimes the parking lot fills up, in which case you will probably be
directed to the gym parking lot. From I5 going south take exit 169
towards NE 45th st, turn left on NE 45th st, turn right at 15th st NE
and continue all the way down past the Foege building until the road
curves around to the left into the parking attendant. Ask for parking
in S1 for a guest and you will be directed to where you should go.
Once you park just walk back the way you came in until you get to
Foege, (I'll try to have signs up for you).

Accomodation
Although most will drive down for the day from Vancouver, the University Inn is a nice Hotel located near enough to walk to the Meeting site.
