DRIVE-THRU COVID-19 PCR TESTING AT SVH
Do not enter the hospital for testing.
COVID testing is recommended only for those who are currently experiencing symptoms, or who have had direct and unprotected exposure to a person with a known positive COVID case, as well as those planning to travel or are scheduled for a medical procedure. The COVID test we administer is the COVID PCR Test, with results normally delivered within 24-48 hours. Results are available through MyChart. Test results will not be provided on holidays when normal business operations are closed in observance of the holidays. Our lab staff is NOT authorized to release test results so emailing covidinfo@snoqualmiehospital.org is the best way to receive your results if you haven’t received them through MyChart.
Testing times are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, except for major holidays. We are closed for lunch from 12:15-1 p.m. Appointments are NOT required.
PICTURE IDs ARE REQUIRED for all testing, so please make sure you have your ID with you before arriving at the hospital.
If you have not received your test results within two days, please email info@snoqualmiehospital.org. If you need assistance accessing your results in MyChart, please reach out to our staff at (425) 831-2313.

RAPID ANTIGEN TESTING AT SNOQUALMIE RIDGE URGENT CARE
If you are experiencing COVID symptoms, suspect you’ve been exposed and would like to see a provider for a test, we are offering Rapid Antigen tests at the Urgent Care. We ask that you call prior to arrival so that we can make sure to keep you and other patients safe.
The Rapid test will provide accurate positive test results. If you are, indeed, symptomatic and test negative, we will request a follow-up drive-thru appointment at our test site at Snoqualmie Valley Hospital. The Rapid test takes about 15 minutes for results. If you need a follow up PCR test at SVH, those results are ready within 24-48 hours of testing.
If you need a PCR test for travel, please drive-thru the test site at SVH.
Snoqualmie Ridge Urgent Care is located at the corner of SE Kinsey and Center Boulevard. We are open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily. Our number is (425) 831-3800.
