Hey Tigers, here's a helpful tip for this year's Commencement Ceremony.

The light rail drops you off directly at the Alaska Airlines Arena, the ceremony venue. From Capitol Hill, the journey takes >15 minutes (get off at the University of Washington Station).

For a hybrid option, you can enjoy free parking at the Harvard Garage across the street from the Broadway Edison Building, then take the light rail to the arena.

Please consider this option, or other public transportation to get to Commencement. It's green, it's fast, it makes for some fun pictures, and you won't have to navigate additional traffic caused by the FIFA World Cup events.

If you do decide to drive, please park in lot E18 and wait for a golf cart to transport you and your party to the arena.
