First there was the omicron surge—now the BA.5 subvariant. Le sigh. Sure, we can get free at-home Covid tests through the United States Postal Service and Washington state to avoid any toilet-paper-level scarcity of rapid tests. But many folks may still need PCR or NAAT tests from county-run sites and hospital popups for an official diagnosis.

Pharmacies like Bartell, Walgreens, and CVS may offer testing appointments, but this list should aid you in your search for swabs. We’ll do our best to keep it updated. For the latest guidance on Covid-19 testing and locations, visit Public Health—Seattle and King County’s testing page.
