No one loves going to the doctor, but when you have a doctor you love, a trip to their office can feel a little less anxiety-inducing. These days, however, trying to find that diamond-in-the-rough medical professional can feel like playing the lottery. Between navigating insurance, looking for someone easily accessible (no one wants to add an hour of traffic to their appointment), and attempting to schedule an appointment sometime within the next six months, the process is downright overwhelming.

Most people turn to family, friends, or coworkers — and sometimes even social media — for referrals, but here at Seattle magazine, in partnership with Castle Connolly, we aim to make the process easier.

For more than two decades, we’ve published a list of the region’s top doctors — none of whom paid to be included, and all of whom were nominated by their peers — to help make your search for the right medical professional an easy click away.

So, whether it’s a twisted ankle or a tummy ache, we’ve got your back — and the talented, trusted doctors on our list have got the rest of your body too.

He is also the recipient of a lifetime ban from…

The Neighborhood Gym Effect

The Neighborhood Gym Effect

Inside Seattle Strength and Performance’s small-group training model and welcoming approach to fitness.

On a regular Seattle Wednesday morning, a little wet and dreary, I walk into a small gym feeling unsure of what I’ve gotten myself into. It’s late January, a time when many New Year’s resolutions are failing and motivation to keep exercising may be going out the window. I work out consistently—lifting weights, going to…

I Experienced a Skincare Treatment on the World’s Most Expensive Bed

A Hästens pop-up is currently running at Penelope and the Beauty Bar.

Last week as I was heading out the door for an appointment at Penelope and the Beauty Bar—the spa inside the Fairmont Olympic Hotel—my fiancé yelled up the stairs, “You better not fall in love with that mattress!” I was on my way to experience the spa’s Oxygen Dome Facial as part of a pop-up…
