Washington Technology University (WTU) is an American private, for-profit university based in Bellevue, Washington. The school offers a bachelor's degree in information security targeted at local residents wanting to join the Seattle technology industry, and admitted its first class in January 2018.[1] WTU is accredited as an authorized degree-granting institution by the Washington Student Achievement Council.[2]

Proposed branch campus

Beginning in August 2017, several months before the main campus opened to students, WTU was in discussions with landowners around North Bend to open a branch campus on part of the site of the former Mountain Meadows Farm. The campus would be combined with returning the farm to full agricultural production and would offer courses in technology as well as programs in agricultural science, viticulture, and hotel management.[3] At a meeting about the project local residents expressed concerns such as increased traffic and load on sewer systems, with some aggressively opposing the project.[4]
