Seattle Central Community College is located on Capitol Hill, the vibrant urban center of Seattle life. We are an educational home for our students, a leadership incubator for our community and an economic catalyst for our state and beyond. Since 1966, the college has served the higher education and workforce training needs of more than 500,000 students.

Seattle Central is committed to creating a learning environment that is accessible, diverse, responsive, and innovative.

Since being established in 1971 as a professional salon, Baxter Institute (formally Sheila Baxter Training Centre) has evolved  into  a  well  respected,  government  accredited  training institution.

Over the past 20 years we have become leaders in the training of hair and beauty professionals. Recently we have expanded into training automotive, bakery, fabrication, business and English. We have acquired a level of expertise few training schools can match and many aspire to.
