Yes, although limited food will be available on the Bastyr campus. On Friday the chef is in and the cafeteria serves limited meals for purchase. However, the cafeteria also has refrigerated vending machines with snacks, drinks, sandwiches and yogurt. They also have fresh organic drip coffee available in the cafeteria. There are microwaves and toaster ovens available to heat food if you wish to bring lunch. Additionally, a student lounge is down the hall from the classroom we will occupy for the Introduction to Acupoint Injection Therapy seminar, which has a refrigerator, plates and utensils, microwaves, and vending machines as well as hot and cold filtered drinking water.

There are many local restaurants and markets should you decide to get your meals off-campus. We suggest at least bringing snacks and/or packing lunch, or going online to see what food options are available near campus, as we will not be responsible providing meals
