On Campus Housing at the University of Washington
Housing at the UW Dorms is available through UW Conference Services. There are three packages offered; one for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, July 25th - July 27th, one for Friday and Saturday nights, July 25th and 26th and one for Saturday and Sunday nights, July 26th and 27th. The packages are priced for either single or double occupancy. You may also choose to arrive a day early, Thursday, July 24th, and/or leave a day late, Tuesday, July 29th. The extra nights are $44.25/night for double occupancy and $64.75/night for single occupancy. These extra nights are not a part of the package. The package price includes a $20.00/day debit card which can be used at any designated UW Housing and Food Service location. TangoMagic attendees will be staying at Haggett Hall. The registration desk as well as the main food service location, 8 at McMahon's are located in McMahon Hall, a short walk from Haggett. The food service is operated by local restaurants and is surprisingly good.
None of the rooms have a private bathroom. All are equipped with ethernet access and free local phone service with voicemail. Television lounges, kitchenettes with microwave ovens, and laundry facilities are available for dormitory occupants. Although these are dorm rooms, everyone who stayed there last year enjoyed the experience.
If you are on the fence, we suggest you give Campus Housing a try this year. The price and convenience can't be beat!

There is ample parking on the UW Campus. Parking is not a part of the UW Housing packages. Monday through Friday the cost is $11.00/day. On Friday night after 9pm parking is free. On Saturday after 12pm and all day Sunday, parking is free. The UW Campus is very large and there are many parking areas. Our events are at the Student Union Building, the HUB, and we would suggest that Festival attendees park either in the Padelford Parking Garage (N16, N18, N20, N21) or the N4 or N6 parking areas.
