Around the U-District

The closest ATM is on the ground floor of the Odegaard Library in front of By George. Enter doors on the south side of the building and it will be on your right.

The closest bank is Wells Fargo at 4100 University Way NE, Seattle - (206) 547-2811 but there are many banks in the University District. We would be happy to help you find the one you need.

There is an excellent used bike store just a few blocks from the INT:

To use the IMA facilities you will need a Visiting Scholar Husky ID card, obtained by having a Visiting Scholar appointment set up through the INT. The IMA fee is $7.45 + sales tax per use ($100.00 + sales tax per quarter). Facilities include a swimming pool, basketball, squash, racquetball, tennis and volleyball courts, weight rooms, saunas, and a climbing room. Court reservations are accepted and rental sports equipment is available.

Note: Rules and restrictions for visiting scholars using the IMA are the same as those for regular faculty and staff:

• Visiting scholars must have an ID card to purchase use of the IMA facilities.
• If visiting scholars purchase use of the IMA facilities, they may sponsor guests according to IMA policy.
• Spouses (and registered same-sex domestic partners) of visiting scholars may arrange to use the IMA independently at restricted times. This arrangement will require the visiting scholar and partner to show documentation of marriage (or registration of their same-sex domestic partner status).
