Lifetime Learning Through the Years

The Lifetime Learning Center was established in 1976 to provide non-credit college courses for older adults. The program was created for students who didn't want to be concerned with grade points, exams, prerequisites, and resumes. These students simply wanted to study subjects that interested them, in the company of supportive instructors and enthusiastic fellow students.

The Center was initially located at the Sacred Heart Church on lower Queen Anne Hill, near the Seattle Center. In 2000, LLC moved to the Sand Point Education Center, near the south entrance to Magnuson Park.

The Center is a self-supporting, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. Support comes from fees, grants, and fund-raising activities.
