This is my nearest ER, but I do not use it for that purpose, as the ER here at Providence is very, very crowded due to it's downtown, urban location. The wise will heed this advice: If you need an ER go to Swedish Mill Creek. The address is 13020 Meridian Ave S Everett 98208

I do use the Providence lab though -located on the 1st floor near the main entrance, which I find it convenient. I'm usually in and out in under 20 mins. They have a "take-a-number" system. Not my favorite, but they make it work. The phlebotomists are adequate. Only once was I left bruised after a blood draw, unacceptable bc I have very prominent veins. Happily, the lab tech was willing to alter her methods in order to get a smooth draw w/no bleeding or bruising every time thereafter, which is important to me.

Update: they lost my standing order for the 3rd time this morning. Spare yourself. Choose another lab.
