New 24/7 Pet Emergency Facility
Seattle Veterinary Specialists gives Seattle residents a go-to for pet emergencies
This article originally appeared in the September 2015 issue of Seattle magazine.
Until recently, a pet emergency in Seattle meant a stressful drive in the black of night to a veterinary ER in Wallingford or Lake City—or to Shoreline, Lynnwood, Renton and beyond. But with the opening last month of Seattle Veterinary Specialists (SVS) (First Hill, 805 Madison St.; svs.com), South Seattle residents can breathe a little easier. Joining the human-centered medical community on Pill Hill, the $1.6 million facility will be a 24/7 go-to for those pet emergencies that always happen at 3 a.m., as well as complex surgery and cancer care.
SVS joins several recent veterinary additions on nearby Capitol Hill, including Urban Animal, which after two years on Broadway and Madison, just moved into The Lyric at 10th and Thomas (urbananimalnw.com) and Madison Street Animal Hospital (2215 E Madison St.; madisonstreetanimalhospital.com). Also, this month, Banfield Pet Hospitals will open a second Seattle location at 1426 Harvard Avenue, adding to its portfolio of 900-plus facilities nationwide (banfield.com).

Studio Sessions: Christopher Paul Jordan
Drawing on childhood memories, neighborhood history, and salvaged materials, Christopher Paul Jordan’s latest show at Cornish’s Behnke Family Gallery explores how the past stays with us.
Start in the middle. It’s good advice for telling a story, and a way into Christopher Paul Jordan’s paintings. By the time you encounter them, their materials have already been something else, and who knows what they might move on to become. The Tacoma interdisciplinary artist works with salvaged objects, including screens, picture frames, canvas,…
