Photograph of the PHL. Built between 1982 and 1985, the 70,000 square foot facility on the Fircrest campus in North Seattle provides high quality laboratory space for the Department of Health. Three Department of Health laboratory offices perform clinical / environmental testing, and investigative science at the site. Our work ranges from testing for communicable disease and genetic disorders to trace level environmental chemical and radiation measurements. Parts of the building are used for community meetings and programs during the day and after hours. The laboratory also hosts training programs for both public and private sector health and laboratory profesionals.
