• Please use 110th Ave NE and NE 65th Street to access campus. Vehicles should enter campus only by making a right turn from NE 65th Street.
• Do NOT use 112th Ave NE to enter campus. As the City of Kirkland sign indicates, this route is closed from 7:15-8:00. Using it worsens congestion and creates unsafe situations.
• The NE 65th Street No Stopping Zone must remain clear for turning buses and emergency vehicles.
• Please don’t use 111th Ave to access campus – you’ll get stuck at the stop sign.
• The main parking lot is CLOSED during morning drop-off to prevent vehicles and pedestrians from crossing the drop-off route. Parking lots may be used during afternoon pick-up.
