In the email, please include:

• Your name

Maintenance for most repairs and replacements is FREE of charge as long as the issues are being shared with Housing in a timely manner. 

What constitutes a maintenance emergency?

Anything that creates a dangerous environment or which is likely to cause extreme damages, including:

• Water leaks
• Overflowing sinks, toilets, or shower tubs
• Mold
• Exposed electrical hazards
• Etc.

Damages which result from maintenance emergencies that are not reported will result in charges being assigned to your student account, in order to repair the damage caused; thus, we encourage residents to report maintenance emergencies as soon as possible.

Lounges:

Both Residence Halls have community spaces for all residents to use.

• Residents are free to use any lounge in their building!
  Some lounges may have specific hours or instructions, like the Triton Game Room. In that case, residents need to call the RA to use the space. 
• Other lounges, such as the Triton Lounge and the Rainier Community Room, can be reserved ahead of time!  Residents may submit reservation requests using our reservation form, which may be found via QR codes featured on posters located in both buildings’ lobbies and both outside and inside each respective lounge.

Trash:

• Triton Court: There are trash rooms with disposal chutes on every floor. Those chutes are for everyday items only whereas bigger items such as big boxes have to be brought down to the dumpsters kept next to the garage door. Electronics and furniture cannot be thrown in the dumpsters and must be brought to the appropriate facility, the closest one being Southwest Recycling & Transfer Station (SWRTS.)
• Rainier Place: The dumpsters are located outside of the building, next to the Triton Field.

Laundry:

• Triton Court: There are laundry rooms on every floor in Triton Court.

• Rainier Place: The only laundry room is located on the 4th floor.

For Your Car (The Resident):

•  First step: Obtain your permit sticker: The first general parking permit sticker is free. You can typically get this from the EdPass office in Alderwood Hall 103.

  • New Students: Parking permits are issued along with your EdPass.
  • Returning Students: Bring your current EdPass to obtain your parking permit. Visit the EdPass office if you cannot find your current EdPass
    • Note: Additional or replacement permits are $15 each.
    • Parking permits are valid throughout the entire academic school year, and can be picked up anytime.
    • This permit is transferable between vehicles you drive, but you are responsible for any parking citations issued to a vehicle displaying your permit.

• Second step: Go to the Housing Office: Visit the front desk at the Housing Office during our office hours, located in Rainier Place.

 Pro Tip: The easiest time to complete this is during your check-in process when you first move in.
