Seattle Indian Health Board

⚠️ Our International District Clinic will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday, June 2) due to a Seattle City Light power outage in this location.

Our Pioneer Square and Lake City clinics will remain open as usual. The ID clinic will reopen Wednesday June, 3. We apologize for any inconvenience.

⏰ Friendly reminder to Indigenous artists who want to show their work at the Seattle Center: you still have time to answer our call for art for the Indigenous People Festival!

🖼️ We're looking for visual artwork of all kinds — everything from paintings to beadwork to fiber arts and carvings — to be featured in a special exhibit of Modern Indigeneity. We want to see how your heritage influences your work.
