This page is for general information on living as a student in the UW-CSE dept. and the Seattle area. Grad students may also be interested in the grad guide wiki (CSE NetID required). The Seattle sub-Reddit has information for people moving to Seattle.
Note that we have recommendations for various places in the Seattle area, as well as a compilation of mailing lists and so forth.
Contributions and suggestions are welcomed! Just use the "edit" link on this page.
Recommendations that don't fit in the existing categories:
- ZipCar is a car sharing program that's great for occasional short trips if you don't want to own a car and rental is overkill. It was formerly FlexCar here before ZipCar bought them. You get your application and annual fees waived with your U-Pass!
