The Bad (Grades) Amongst the Good (Grades)

I am applying as a transfer student to the University of Washington - Seattle for this coming fall quarter and I have a bit of a concern.

The majority of my grades are within the 3.7 to 4.0 range, but my cumulative GPA is 3.48 because I struggled in a few classes throughout and got a 2.7 (Math), a 2.8 (Math), and a 2.9 (German). None of the classes are specific prerequisites to my major, and the one specific prerequisite that I could take while in community college I got a 4.0.

So, how does UW view cases like this and how much will those grades impact my chances?

Thank you all for your time!
