Getting to campus

The campus is located just off Interstate 5 in downtown Tacoma:

Driving directions

The UW Tacoma campus is located across the street from the Washington State History Museum and Union Station. To reach campus, from I-5 take the I-705/Tacoma City Center exit (exit 133). From I-705 take the South 21st Street exit. Turn left at the traffic light onto 21st Street. Go through the light at Pacific Avenue, and the campus is on the right.

Using public transportation

UW Tacoma is an urban campus and, therefore, parking is limited. Students and visitors are encouraged to use public transportation. A discount FlexPass is available to all students, faculty and staff.

Ride the Link... it's fast and free!

Try the Tacoma Link light rail! It leaves every ten minutes from the Tacoma Dome Station (stop 1) and stops at UW Tacoma (stop 3) in less than five minutes. You can park for free at the Tacoma Dome Station parking garage, which is adjacent to the free Tacoma Link light rail line.
