Expect to wait some time for your turn to be seen, so bring what you need to stay comfortable. The team will do their best to get through our line as quickly as we can while delivering high quality patient care to every family. Please remember that they are a small team and we may not have the capacity to see every pet that comes to a clinic. WA Health Outreach is grateful for your understanding and patience as we work hard to meet the needs in our community.

Household Income Levels

Washington Health Outreach offers free and low cost veterinary care for people who are unhoused or with income that does not exceed twice the 2023 Federal Poverty Limit (see chart below). If you are housed with a low income, we ask that you bring verification of income with you to our clinic. Examples are:

Regional Animal Services of King County – Late fees waived through June 30
A pet license provides peace of mind should your pet ever get lost. Last year, RASKC reunited 831 lost pets with their owner thanks to a license. Your license fee also helps fund the vital, life-saving work we do at RASKC. Now through June 30, 2024, you can renew an expired pet license and have the late fee waived.
** Visit Tukwila City Hall at 6200 Southcenter Blvd, Tukwila to get or renew your license. City Hall is open Mondays-Thursdays from 8:30 am – 4:00 pm.
License online here or call 206-296-2712.

Free Repair Event
2024-05-11 13:30 - 16:30 | Tukwila Community Center, 12424 42nd Avenue South , Tukwila, WA, 98168, United States
At these FREE community repair events, skilled volunteer “fixers” try to repair and mend small household and personal items.
** Saturday, May 11, 1:30-4:30 pm, Tukwila Community Center | Facebook event page **

Sunday, April 21, 1:30-4:30 pm, Burien Library | Facebook event page
Saturday, June 8, 1:30-4:30 pm, Kirkland Library | Facebook event page
Saturday, Aug. 10, 1:30-4:30 pm, Skyway Library | Facebook event page

How can I participate in a King County-sponsored repair event?
To bring in an item to be looked at, at King County’s free community repair events: There are no reservations or appointments, but an advance sign-up gives priority over “walk-ins” or second items. One signed-up item per event per person.
To request an advance sign-up for a specific King County-sponsored event (not other program’s events), or if you have questions, contact event coordinator Tom at tom.watson@kingcounty.gov . In your message, specify the event you wish to attend, and the kind of item you have.
Also contact Tom if you’re interested in being a volunteer “fixer” for this program. However, there are currently very limited openings for new fixers (no openings for most events), and no openings for volunteers of other types.

What can I bring to a King County-sponsored repair event?
Items our fixers can potentially work on at these repair events include household and personal items that are small enough to be carried in by one person, including certain electronics, small furniture, and clothing/textiles. Items brought in for repair, including clothing, must be clean.
We may decline to work on any item – in advance or at the event – depending on the item, the type of repair needed, the fixers available, or for other reasons.
Items we can’t work on include: Anything that uses gasoline; cell phones; microwaves. Also, no lengthy reconstructive repairs; no major clothing alterations; no knife or tool sharpening.
For many types of items, area businesses offer repair services for a fee. These businesses are listed in the King County repair businesses directory, which has 18 different categories. Support those businesses, if you can!
