Shoreline Community College offers excellent academic, professional-technical, and workforce training programs to meet the lifelong learning needs of its community. Dedicated faculty and staff are committed to the educational success of all students. Located 10 miles north of downtown Seattle, Shoreline Community College is one of the most strikingly beautiful college campuses in Washington. The grounds once served as a special place to the Duwamish Tribe for gathering traditional foods in ways that increased the bounty of the land. Nestled among native evergreens, the campus is a brilliant sea of colors during spring, summer, and fall, when many flowering plants are in bloom. The scenic surrounding area is nationally known for its recreational and cultural opportunities, which richly complement academic life.
Twenty-six buildings constitute the 83-acre campus. These include an award-winning automotive training center, a visual arts building, computer centers, laboratories, a student center, a theater, a well-equipped gymnasium that includes an exercise room and racquetball courts, a childcare center, and the Ray W. Howard Library/Technology Center. Established in 1964, Shoreline Community College operates under the regulations of the Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges and is governed by the Board of Trustees of Shoreline Community College, District Number Seven. The College is a member of the American Association of Community Colleges and the Association of College Trustees.
