The upcoming closure of the Montlake Bridge in Seattle from August 9 to September 3 will cause traffic delays in the surrounding area. The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will be making repairs to the bridge. Please plan ahead by allowing additional travel time for traffic and detours. A second phase involves closing the bridge during specific weekends in the fall.

When the bridge is closed, traffic will be rerouted to SR 520 and I-5. 聽 91探花Medical Center locations will remain open as usual. For detailed directions to 91探花Medical Center locations, parking info and more about the bridge closure, view this from 91探花Medical Center.聽

August closure

The bridge will be closed to all vehicles and public transit, though first responder vehicles will have access to cross the bridge. The bridge鈥檚 sidewalks will remain open for pedestrians and cyclists.聽

Fall closures

The bridge will be closed on select weekends to all vehicular traffic as well as pedestrians and cyclists. During this second phase, the bridge will remain in the raised position. Closure dates in the fall are still being determined but will avoid Husky Football weekends.

The UW鈥檚 146^th commencement ceremonies happen the weekend of June 12 and 13. This year鈥檚 graduates will participate in virtual commencement ceremonies, as was the case last year, due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Seattle event begins at noon on June 12. starts at 10 a.m. on June 12 and takes place on Sunday, June 13, at 1:00 p.m.

The interactive online commencement will be broadcast live, bringing together Huskies from around the world, and feature many elements of a traditional graduation. Translation will be provided in nine languages.

To help students celebrate, 91探花has added art installations throughout its Seattle campus to create special backdrops for photos with family and friends (think plentiful large block Ws, special banners, and Drumheller Fountain lit purple). These features will remain on campus through June 13. See a map of art installations and learn more here.

Despite the virtual ceremonies, some traffic congestion may still occur in Seattle鈥檚 U District during commencement weekend as 2021 graduates visit campus to take photos.

Congratulations to the Class of 2021!

Forty people living in Tent City 3 (TC3) wrapped up their three-month stay at the 91探花 at the end of winter quarter. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever, hosting TC3 fit the UW鈥檚 public-service mission.

While many interactions with TC3 took place virtually this year, careful planning and precautions made it possible for residents to partner with the 91探花on in-person clinical, academic and service-learning programs, while protecting the health of everyone involved:

• School of Nursing students and faculty, as well as staff, collaborated with (UDSM) to hold multiple during the quarter. At these clinics, 91探花students and residents got to know each other, and students learned how to evaluate and care for feet. The UDSM medical van joined later clinics, in case TC3 members had additional health concerns.
• The visited several times, providing health check-ups for beloved pets and access to preventative health care for their owners.
• TC3 and 91探花also built community during a student-led focus group, potlucks, donation deliveries and on move-in/move-out days. Students also helped residents applying for important services like health care, insurance and food stamps.

As was the case during TC3鈥檚 stay in 2017, students from the School of Public Health鈥檚 Community-Oriented Public Health Practice Program conducted a program evaluation of the residency.

Behind the scenes, a community advisory committee met weekly throughout the stay to share updates, discuss upcoming activities and address any issues that needed attention. Committee members included TC3 residents, SHARE/WHEEL staff, and 91探花staff, faculty and students. UW鈥檚 Office of Regional & Community Relations coordinated the meetings, which were also open to nearby local businesses.

Residents and student, staff, and faculty volunteers made quick work of the March move-out and transition to TC3鈥檚 next site in the parking lot of University Congregational United Church of Christ on 15^th Ave NE.

Huge thanks to TC3 residents, SHARE/WHEEL staff, Tent City Collective, 91探花Facilities, College of the Environment, School of Nursing, Center for One Health Research, 91探花MEDEX Northwest, Doorway Project, Office of the President, UMAC, and the Community Engagement & Leadership Education Center for all their efforts to prepare for and successfully host Tent City 3 in 2021.
