Following King County’s application to advance to a modified phase one in Governor Inslee’s updated “Safe Start Washington” plan, Seattle Mayor Jenny A. Durkan announced today, the launch of free Citywide testing at two locations in north and south Seattle.
“Early testing is important whether you are young or old to help prevent spread of the virus in households and the community,” said King County Public Health Officer Dr. Jeff Duchin.
Building off the success of ground breaking and national standard setting pilots, like the first responders testing site and mobile assesssment teams, the Seattle Fire Department (SFD) has developed a cadre of experienced personnel to lead the citywide testing effort by administering tests.
If you need walk-up testing with ADA accommodations there are many options for free COVID testing, please visit Public Health – Seattle King County’s website or call (206) 477-3977 for more information.
Most people can access testing through their regular health care provider The City is actively looking to add walk-up testing and additional capacity in West Seattle, another high-need area of the City.
