How to Get to Seattle

The closest international airport to Edmonds College is Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) in Seatac, WA. Washington state, not Washington, D.C. 

On the plane, you will be asked to fill out a declaration form (6059B Custom Form). Fill it out with your passport information and items for declaration.

  • Read the declaration form completely and fill out it out honestly. 
  • Failure to declare items (currency over $10,000, fruits, vegetables, etc.) on the form can result in seizure of your items. 

Keep the declaration form with you! You will submit it to the immigration officer.

At SEATAC Airport

After getting off the plane, follow the signs for Immigration and Customs (Area 2 for internationals).

Do not use your cellphone while waiting in immigration.

Have your I-20 and passport ready.

Be polite and honest when talking with the immigration officer. 

All customs kiosks have dual-phone language translators. Ask the immigration officer for translation into your language. 

Be prepared to answer the following questions during inspections by immigration officers:

  • Which school are you attending? Edmonds College
  • What are you studying? Your major or program (ex. Biology, High School Completion)
  • Where will you stay? Housing (ex. dormitory, homestay, apartment)
  • Who is picking you up? Edmonds College Housing

After customs, follow the signs for baggage claim.
