COVID-19 Testing at Harborview Medical Center (All ages)
Harborview Medical Center offers walk-up testing for ;the coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19. This is a nasal swab test that will determine if you are currently infected with COVID-19.
Do you think you may have a COVID-19 infection?
If you have symptoms or a known exposure, you may make an appointment for a COVID-19 test. Please schedule your appointment by clicking on the blue “Book Online” button above or by calling 206.520.8700.
Can I get a COVID-19 test even if I don’t have symptoms or a known exposure?
Yes, but due to increased demand for testing of patients who have symptoms or have been exposed to COVID-19, testing for other reasons, such as travel, is limited at UW Medicine test sites.
Can't find a time that works for you at a UW Medicine test site?
Several other organizations offer testing. Learn more about ;other testing options in Seattle. Please note that UW Medicine providers cannot access test results from locations outside of UW Medicine.
