The Swedish Cherry Hill campus is located in Seattle's historic Central District. The building now known as James Tower was home to the first hospital in Seattle, established in 1877 by the Sisters of Providence. Today, the campus stands as one of the most modern and technologically advanced medical facilities in the region. Renovations include new neurosurgery and cardiovascular surgery operating rooms and interventional suites that are among the most advanced in the country.
Seattle is the Pacific Northwest's largest urban center (metro population 3.25 million), with world-class arts and entertainment, a robust economy and an outstanding school system. The city hugs magnificent Puget Sound and offers Olympic and Cascade mountain views to the north, east and south. Seattleites are famously fond of the outdoors, fresh seafood and good coffee.
