Welcome To The Lifetime Learning Center
Sharpen Your Mind & Meet New Friends!
We offer daytime, non-credit college-level courses in a wide range of subjects, from literature, history, and opera appreciation to bridge, yoga, and tai chi (geared to older adults), watercolor, quilting, computer classes, and writing your life story. About 35 classes are offered each quarter (Fall, Winter, and Spring). Each class is offered one day a week for eight weeks.
The best way to get to know us is to visit a class. You are welcome to sit in on any class you are interested in - just drop by the office and introduce yourself before class!
Many of our instructors are retired academics. Others are current professionals and artists. All are volunteers who offer their time and expertise. Their reward is the satisfaction of teaching enthusiastic students.
You'll find we are one of the best bargains in continuing education in the Puget Sound region. Our goal is that no student be excluded by the cost of attending our classes. Check our current schedule for class fees.
Special Events
In addition to scheduled classes, the Center invites speakers and performers for lunch events at the Center's auditorium. Our annual social festivities include the Holiday Faire, a spring auction, and a Teacher Appreciation Luncheon.
