Seattle Campus

Our Seattle, WA campus is located in the heart of the city at Seattle Center - right next to the iconic Space Needle. A long-time hub for the video game industry, Seattle is home to studios like Valve, Bungie, and Nintendo of America, along with countless emerging independent game studios. Convenient public transit options, plenty of fun activities, and great restaurants make Seattle Center a great location for our students.

Seattle is a thriving city full of things to do! While at Seattle Center, check out the Space Needle, Museum of Popular Culture (MoPop), or Pacific Science Center. Within easy reach are Pike Place Market, Seattle Art Museum, and the beautiful Seattle Public Library. Branch out just a little further, and explore the International District, Woodland Park Zoo, the Museum of History and Industry, or the Flight Museum!
