Early Vaccine Registration Open For All King County Residents 16+

SEATTLE — With one week to go before Washington expands coronavirus vaccine eligibility to all residents 16 and older, Seattle has opened up its appointment notification list to all in King County.

Using an online form, residents can sign up to receive an e-mail as soon as an appointment becomes opens up at any of Seattle's four city-run vaccination clinics. Anyone living or working in King County, who is 16 or older and still needs their first vaccine appointment, qualifies for pre-registration. A separate tool also allows residents to find and secure appointment slots, including the remaining groups that become eligible on April 15.

Notifications from the list will be for open appointments only at these four sites:

• The Lumen Field Event Center (330 S Royal Brougham Way, Seattle, WA 98134)
• North Seattle College Community Vaccination Hub (9600 College Way N, Seattle, WA 98103)
• Rainier Beach Community Vaccination Hub (8702 Seward Park Ave S, Seattle, WA 98118)
• West Seattle Community Vaccination Hub (2801 SW Thistle St, Seattle, WA 98126)
• Appointments can be scheduled using the city's online tool.

Using the name and contact information provided on the form, the city's system will send an e-mail as slots become available. According to the city, residents should not expect notifications every week, and "multiple strategies" are encouraged to secure an appointment as demand grows. Those who need help completing the form can also contact customer service at 206-684-2489 during business hours.

On Tuesday, Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan announced the city received its largest allocation to date, with more than 30,000 doses headed to Seattle's four vaccination clinics this week. The boost in supply helped the Lumen Field Event Center administer its highest number of doses in a single day and allowed the West Seattle hub to offer thousands of Johnson & Johnson shots to critical workers all week.

As federal deliveries grow and operations scale up to capacity, the city estimates the Lumen Field site could administer more than 22,000 doses every day of the week.
