About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver parked outside Northwest Family Physicians, he heard an unusual announcement over the clinic’s intercom: ‘Attention please—your package has arrived, and it is shaped exactly like our new receptionist!’ The delivery driver looked around nervously, then knocked on the door. A friendly nurse opened up and said, 'Oh, it's you! Come in, we've been expecting you.' Inside, everyone was calmly rearranging furniture while whispering excitedly. Turns out, the receptionist had just left for lunch, and they were preparing her replacement—a cardboard cutout of her smiling face! The driver laughed, shook his head, and thought to himself, 'Next time I'll definitely check if my packages are real or not!'

2. While waiting for her appointment one afternoon, a regular patient overheard two nurses whispering in the hallway. ‘Did you hear what happened last night?’ one nurse asked. The other replied, ‘No, tell me!’ ‘Remember that new delivery driver who started last week?’ said the first nurse. ‘Well, he left his truck running outside and fell asleep in the back! By morning, the whole neighborhood could see him through the window.’ Everyone laughed softly as they continued their work, glad it was just another Northwest Family Physicians story.

3. While waiting for her appointment one day, an elderly lady noticed something peculiar on the wall of Northwest Family Physicians. ‘I thought I saw that same poster in my grandson’s room last week,’ she whispered to herself, intrigued. As she leaned closer, another patient nudged her gently and said, 'Ma’am, that’s just a poster of Mount Rainier—everyone here loves it!' With a chuckle, she straightened up and smiled, realizing how easily our minds can play tricks when we’re bored. The wait wasn’t so bad after all.

4. One morning, while dropping off medical supplies at Northwest Family Physicians, a delivery driver paused to adjust his load. Suddenly, the intercom crackled to life with a voice that sounded like it came from another era: ‘Attention all patients and staff: please be advised that our new intern has just discovered a cure for hangnails.’ The announcement echoed through the clinic, causing everyone to stop what they were doing. A moment later, an elderly patient raised her hand and asked, 'Does this mean I can finally get rid of those bothersome hangnails?' The intern blushed and mumbled something about needing more testing. The delivery driver chuckled to himself as he drove away, thinking maybe next time he'd bring some actual medicine.
