Welcome to the UW Bothell chapter homepage. The Bothell campus of the University of Washington is located just North of Seattle. Students in the Master of Science in Cyber Security Engineering (MS CSE) program have chartered this OWASP Chapter to provide an educational resource for the community. We emphasize collaboration with other technology and security organizations.

The chapter leaders are David L. Morse (student leader) and Geetha Thamilarasu PhD (faculty advisor).
