Lifetime Learning Center

I’ve been a student at Lifetime Learning Center for about ten years and can’t say enough good things about it. It’s a 38 year old non-​profit educational institution that offers reasonably priced college level classes for adults of all ages. Over 25 of these non-​credit classes are offered per quarter and include such subjects as literature, opera appreciation, history, watercolor, cinema, movement, writing, poetry, bridge and much more. New and different classes are offered every quarter and they’re taught by a great faculty who all volunteer their time. There are often nearly 300 students enrolled per quarter. And the cost? It’s amazingly inexpensive – the tuition for an 8 week course is typically just $ 30. This place is unique and is often referred to as one of Seattle’s best kept secrets. I can see why. It’s a very friendly place too. They hold Open Houses at the beginning of every quarter so that people can meet the instructors and hear brief summaries about upcoming classes. In March 2013 Lifetime Learning is moving to new facilities at 3841 NE 123^rd St. in Lake City. (It was formerly located in a school near Green Lake for several years and before that in a Sand Point area school for many years.)
