According to the Seattle/King County Clinic’s post, there are a limited number of admission tickets. This is a first come, first served clinic, meaning patients cannot register in advance. Tickets will be distributed starting at 5:30 a.m. in Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center.
Patients may attend the clinic for multiple days but must go through the ticket process each day. You cannot get both dental and vision care on the same day.
Organizers are urging patients to come prepared for a long day; bring food, comfortable clothing and any daily medications.
