A new urgent care clinic is coming to Federal Way.

On Monday, Aug. 3, the Virginia Mason Federal Way Medical Center will open an urgent care clinic to provide walk-in medical services for minor illnesses and injuries, such as sprains, burns, cuts earaches, fevers, coughs and other conditions that need prompt attention.

The urgent care clinic will be open seven days a week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on weekends, at 33501 First Way S. in Federal Way. Appointments are not needed.

“People in Federal Way have been asking for this for many years,” said Margaret Brewer, administrative director, Ambulatory Services. “This will give patients a full range of options and allow them to get all their care at Virginia Mason.”

The urgent care team in Federal Way will be supported by an online medical records system and the services of a comprehensive health care center. Urgent care will be an addition to the array of diagnostic, medical and outpatient surgical services currently provided at the Federal Way Medical Center.

This is the second urgent care program Virginia Mason has launched this year. In January, it opened an urgent care clinic at its Bainbridge Island facility.

Urgent care is designed for individuals with minor health problems that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. It is not a substitute for either emergency or primary care.
