Overview

The Seattle Hospital, managed by Dr. G.A. Weed, M.D., in 1876, was the second hospital to operate in Seattle, after Doctor David Swinson Maynard's, which opened c. 1860. Weed's institution was located on Commercial Street (later renamed 1st Avenue South), between Main and Jackson Streets. Weed stated of the Seattle Hospital in an advertisement of 1876: “To the Sick who have no homes, and need comfortable rooms, good nursing and skillful medical or surgical treatment at moderate prices, this hospital offers inducements superior to any other institution of this kind north of San Francisco.” (See Kirk C. Ward, Business Directory of the City of Seattle for the year 1876, [Seattle: R.L. Northrop, Printer, 1876], p. 13.)
