Registration & Fees

Pre-registration is available in-person, via mail, fax or online. Carol Edwards Center office hours and driving direction are available on the General Information page. Registration is required for all classes and all fees are due at the time of registration, unless otherwise noted in the class description. Registration dates are listed on the latest Registration Form or are available on the Recreation Guide page under "Updates".

Resident Priority Registration and Resident Fees

City residents receive priority registration and, as taxpayers, are charged a lower registration fee than non-residents. Homes within the City of Woodinville (those that pay Woodinville property taxes) and those with a Woodinville mailing address may differ. For the ease of determining residency during registration, the zip code 98072, which encompasses all City of Woodinville taxpayers as well as a few other homes, is used. All other zip codes pay the non-resident rate.

You may also visit the King County Parcel Viewer for information on who you pay your property taxes to. Enter your address to see detailed information on your property. If your address is not in King County, you may visit the Snohomish County Parcel Viewer for information about your property. The City of Woodinville resides wholly in King County.

Refunds

100% Refund: If the class is cancelled by the Parks & Recreation Department, registered participants receive a 100% refund within 10 days of cancellation.

100% Refund, less $10 processing fee: If a registered participant withdraws within five (5) business days prior to the first class/session, the refund will be issued within 10 days of the day of cancellation.

No Refund: For programs costing less than $10 (unless cancelled by Parks & Recreation), there is no refund. The cost to taxpayers to issue the refund is more than the amount of the refund. Instead, the fee is placed in the Financial Assistance Fund. No refunds are issued for participants removed from class for disciplinary reasons.

Special Requests: Medical injuries or other extenuating circumstances are given a case-by-case consideration by the Recreation Supervisor. Documentation may be required to substantiate the special request.

Scholarships/Financial Assistance

Financial assistance is available to low income youth and people with disabilities. To apply, download and submit the Recreation Scholarship Application form. If you or your company would like to make a scholarship donation, please contact the Parks & Recreation Department.

Class/Program Cancellations Due to Weather

During severe weather events, the City closely monitors school closures issued by the Northshore School District (Transportation Line: 425.408.6001 or www.nsd.org). If the NSD implements a late start, call the CEC main number for class status, 425.398.9327. If the NSD closes all schools, all morning classes at the CEC are cancelled. For afternoon classes, the City makes a determination by 11 a.m. based on road conditions and current/predicted weather conditions. For evening classes, a determination is made by 3 p.m. Class openings and closures are recorded on the CEC main number, 425.398.9327. Make-up classes are rescheduled if possible. For classes held outside, call 1 hour prior to program for rain-related cancellations.
