Northwest
The Northwest FSRDC, or NWFSRDC, is a partnership between the U.S. Census Bureau and the University of Washington (UW) to provide qualified researchers in the Pacific Northwest of the United States with a secure research facility in which to conduct statistical research using non-public demographic, economic, business, and public health data originating from the U.S. Census Bureau and other U.S. federal statistical agencies and entities. Established in 2012, the NWFSRDC is housed within the College of Arts and Sciences on the UW Seattle Campus and is part of a unique network of over 30 open Federal Statistical Research Data Centers located within leading U.S. research institutions. The NWFSRDC receives oversight and guidance from the Director of the Center for Studies in Demography and Ecology at UW.

Partner Institutions
The operation of each Federal Statistical Research Data Center (RDC) is supported by both the Census Bureau and RDC partner institutions. Some RDC partner institutions form consortiums to share the operational costs of the RDC and may waive user fees for their affiliates. Several RDCs have built branch locations to reduce the cost of researchers commuting to the core location while still maintaining the identical stringent information technology and physical security requirements.
