By American standards, Seattle is a very progressive city, so you'll find many health care options. While you need a prescription for birth control, you can get a prescription from a clinic or online. You also don't need parental permission for a prescription and there are no age requirements. You can access the morning after pill (emergency contraception) as well. Regarding STIs, there are various centers in Seattle that provide free or low-cost STI tests, There are no significant restrictions on abortions, such as waiting periods or obligatory parental involvement.
By American standards, Seattle is a progressive, LGBTQ-friendly city with many health care options. However, like all US cities, there are still some hurdles to consider when accessing health care, and certain clinics or health care providers will provide more sensitized services than others. If you want most long-lasting or hormonal birth control options, like pills, injectables or an IUD, you'll need a prescription. If you don't have a prescription yet, you can obtain one through an in-person visit to a health care provider, or you can obtain a prescription online (through certain apps). If you want emergency contraception, it can be found at certain markets, like Safeway, or clinics, like Planned Parenthood. No prescription is required. If you need to get an STI test, there are many facilities that provide low-cost and even free tests in Seattle. You should be aware that certain facilities require appointments to be scheduled in advance, while others accept people on a drop-in basis. If you need a gynecological exam, we recommend you visit the "Gynecological Exams" section below. In that section, we also have a link to a database of health care providers that have experience working with transgender patients. Abortion is legal and there are no major restrictions, such as wait periods or parental involvement (which can be found in other US states).
