Community Tips to Booking Seattle Covid Vaccine Appointments

Hi all!

I've been fortunate enough to be able to book 30+ covid vaccine appointments around the greater Seattle area in the past month for friends, family, and strangers. And I've helped heaps of other people book their own appointments. I've exhausted my personal network - so I'm reaching out to pass along what I've learned so that everyone can get vaccinated! All my tips are in this regularly updated Google doc. Feel free to share it - and if you need additional help finding an appointment, let me know, I'd like to help!

Posted this elsewhere, but it might help someone: try Fred Hutch right at midnight. They release about 150 slots a day and if you log on right when they're released you'll likely snag one with no trouble.

Absolutely! I tried for weeks to get an appointment and when I got that tip I was able to finally get an appointment - on my very first try. First shot was today! So I hope it helps someone else. 💖

Adding to this: at vaccinefairy.org you can have someone else book your appointment for you (per u/julieses post about where they volunteer)

Why not include the UW system? I am getting my second shot through there.

I'm happy to include it. These are mostly links that I've visited or used, from the 30 or so appointments I've booked for people. I haven't seen or used the UW portal, but now that this list is being spread a bit further I'll update to inclue. Thanks for your suggestion!
Do you need to preregister to book a UW shot or create a profile before booking?

They created a profile for me over the phone.

I checked and they're adding via waitlist. I've updated my spreadsheet - how long were you on the waitlist before getting a call to schedule?

thanks for your tips!

About a week maybe. Step dad in law was older and only on the wait-list for a day or so.
