Book Commencement Hotels and Travel Early
June is a busy time at the University of Washington — and in 2026, the FIFA World Cup will add significant demand for hotels, flights, and local transportation.
If you are traveling to Seattle in June 2026, we strongly encourage you to book lodging and travel as early as possible.
