Do I need a background in design to be successful in these programs?

These programs are geared towards students with little or no design background. We will equip you with the skills to explore the tools, techniques, and vision of landscape architecture and architecture professionals.

What will the weather be like in Seattle in June, July, and August?

The summer is a great time to visit the Pacific Northwest. Flowers are in bloom, temperatures are comfortable in the 70's-mid 80's with cool evenings, and the waterways are filled with watersports enthusiasts. While a raincoat or umbrella are always advisable, sunglasses are a more common companion in the summer months. Summer days are delightfully long with the sunrise early around 5 am and sunset around 9:30 pm. The long days will afford plenty of time to explore the unique landscape that creates and surrounds Seattle.
