Northwest University is a small private school located in the Houghton neighborhood of Kirkland, on a gently sloping hillside just west of I-405. This map also includes nearby Watershed Park, a thickly wooded park a short distance south of the campus.

Note: Samples of the map are provided here for educational purposes only; the map shown here is not kept up-to-date. The course shown is a Beginner/Intermediate course, and actual controls do not exist in the terrain.
The purpose of providing these navigational and physical ratings below is to provide greater context for how challenging an orienteering course at this venue might be. For example, anĀ advanced-level course at a local city park will be easier to complete than an advanced-level course in the mountains.
