City University of Seattle to Leave Bellevue Headquarters for South Lake Union

City University of Seattle will move its headquarters from its location in Bellevue to the 6th and Wall building in Seattle.

"By moving our headquarters to South Lake Union and creating this urban learning campus, we’re able to offer students a live-learning environment that is rich with opportunity, increased access, and new ways of learning," said Lee Gorsuch, President of CityU of Seattle.

Despite its move, the private nonprofit institution will keep some classrooms in Bellevue, spokeswoman Tarsi Hall said.

The school, which was established in 1973, offers bachelor degrees in fields such as psychology, communications and general studies and graduate degrees in management, education and counseling. The school also offers a doctorate degree in education leadership.

The headquarters of the institution has been at 11900 NE 1st St. in Bellevue, but offers classes throughout Washington and in Australia, Canada, Mexico, Slovakia, Greece, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Romania, The Czech Republic and China, according to the college.

According to City University, the first floor of the new location will feature predominantly student and community-facing amenities including classrooms, state of the art teaching facilities and resource centers to support students and the neighborhood. The second floor accommodates administrative offices and academic support staff.
