Grays Harbor College

Grays Harbor College, established in 1930, sits on a wooded 120-acre campus in Aberdeen, Washington, approximately 110 miles southwest of Seattle and 45 miles west of Olympia. Located in the Pacific Northwest coastal region, the public two-year community college serves the educational needs of Grays Harbor and Pacific counties. The campus features modern academic facilities surrounded by evergreen forests, with the main buildings designed in a contemporary Northwest architectural style. The college offers associate degrees, technical certifications, and workforce education programs, with notable strengths in nursing, natural resources, and industrial trades suited to the region's economic needs. Students can access on-campus housing through the Hillier Union Building, which opened in 2019 as the institution's first residential facility.
