New NE Seattle Location! We have formed an extended “campus” between the Seattle Waldorf School 2728 NE 100th St, Seattle WA, 98125, and Maple Leaf Lutheran Church 10005 32nd Ave NE, Seattle, WA 98125. Most of the program will take place at the school. These two locations are located 200 yards from each other. The church has ample parking, and we ask that those who are able use their lot and walk down to the school.
