Reading the cards: minutes are our estimates from map distance, so they say "about". Breakfast, suites and kitchens are what each hotel brand promises across its hotels, not something we checked room by room. The places listed under a hotel are the closest ones within roughly a 10-minute walk of its door.

Graduation weekend at University of Washington

University of Washington holds its main ceremony at Husky Stadium, usually in June. On our map, 1 place to stay sits no more than about a 20-minute walk from it, none inside 10. 1 is within about 15 minutes on foot of both the venue and the tour start. Page still shows the 2026 date: 'On June 13, 2026, the University of Washington will honor the graduating class of 2026'.

Rooms close to campus tend to go first for commencement, often months ahead and with a two-night minimum. If the walkable ones are gone, sort the list by the 10-minute drive chip and look one town over. Our graduation weekend guide covers timing.

Worth doing before you book

University of Washington gear for the ride home

A hat for the tour, a hoodie for the acceptance letter, a frame for the far end of it all. Each button runs an Amazon search for that item with the school's name filled in.
