Where to go for health care
For common, minor illnesses and injuries, it is better to visit your primary care medical provider or urgent care instead of the emergency room. Neighborcare Health has medical and dental clinics across Seattle, and Olympia, many with evening and Saturday hours, walk-in, same-day or next-day appointments. Find a clinic.
Neighborcare Health clinics with Saturday hours include Columbia City, Meridian, and Rainier Beach.
Go to urgent care when your primary care clinic is closed
Or go to urgent care if your condition may worsen if you wait. Type in "urgent care clinic near me" in an online search to find an urgent care clinic.
