About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver pulled up to Kaiser Permanente with an unusual package. As he approached the reception desk, everyone inside noticed something strange: the box seemed to be humming. Curious staff opened it carefully, and out popped a live canary singing along with the hum. Turns out, someone’s neighbor had mistakenly packed their pet bird instead of the usual paperwork. Everyone laughed it off as just another quirky Portland story.

2. At dusk in Seattle, Kaiser Permanente’s waiting room grew quiet as usual. But one evening, a small child pointed excitedly towards the ceiling and whispered, 'Mommy, look! Is that a bat?' The mother smiled down gently, replying softly, "No sweetie, it's just an old light fixture." The child nodded thoughtfully then added, 'But it looks like a bat flying upside-down!' A nearby nurse chuckled, shaking her head with a smile, thinking to herself, 'Another ordinary day at Kaiser Permanente.'

3. At dawn in San Francisco, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Kaiser Permanente and noticed something odd on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper with no label. Curious, he opened it to find nothing but an old note reading: ‘To whoever finds this—please return it to the nearest coffee shop.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally left their morning brew delivery here instead.

4. At midnight in Los Angeles, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Kaiser Permanente and wondered aloud: ‘Why does my GPS insist on rerouting here every night?’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman emerged from the entrance, muttering something about ‘another late-night blood drive.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, realizing that sometimes even GPS has its reasons for taking unexpected routes.
