Parking is free for our Bastyr guests. However, a guest parking pass must be displayed on your dashboard. Those without a pass risk being towed. With a guest pass displayed on your dash you can park in any spot that is not reserved for a special population (i.e., handicap, carpool, faculty, board members and the president).
There are various ways to obtain a guest parking pass:
- Participants of a continuing education seminar: Print a parking pass and place it on your dash. Should you forget your parking pass, your seminar host can give you a pass upon check-in.
- Visitors to campus Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.: Stop at the reception office for a guest pass. Reception is located under the pillars at the building entrance.
- Contact the continuing education department: Email continuinged[at]bastyr[dot]edu or call (425) 602-3152, and we will email you a pass that you can print out at home.
Transportation from Sea-Tac Airport
The Bastyr campus is a 40 to 90 minute drive from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, depending on time of day and traffic. Shuttle Express (1-800-487-7433) offers door-to-door service, as do commercial taxis. Although there is bus service to Bastyr, the route involves many transfers and there can be long waits.
Lodging
Hotels – Several hotels are located within 6 to 10 miles of Bastyr. None are located within walking distance or on easy bus routes. Most likely you will need a car, or you can take a taxi to Bastyr. Download a hotel list (pdf).
Campus Dorms – Bastyr has several dorm rooms available for single or double occupancy. Two rooms include a private bathroom, but most dorm guests use the shared bathroom and showers down the hall. You can download a dorm room flier (pdf) to see pictures, a description, prices and how to reserve a room.
Student Village – Rooms may be available in Bastyr's student village, a short walk from the main building. There are eleven suites which share common space. Each suite is a bedroom and adjoining private bathroom.

Note: We acknowledge that there are a few areas of this DVD recording that are not up to Bastyr's typical high standard. Changes were made during the editing process that were beyond our control (i.e. there is a short area of blank recording; short portions of compromised sound quality). However, we still believe that it is important to make Dr. Tran's instruction and demonstration available to practitioners.
