Do not lock any bike you care about outside the space, especially at night. In the U-District, bikes and their unlocked peripherals can get stolen in very short amounts of time.
Feel free to wheel your bike into the foyer during non-trafficked hours, the front door area can support one bike and there's plenty of room to keep a bike up the stairs.
