Timberline Out and About

A glimpse of life beyond the hospital. From community events and local celebrations to team outings, we love getting out, having fun, and being part of the community we call home.

Life in the Pacific Northwest

Mountains, forests, islands and coastline make the Pacific Northwest an incredible place to call home. Hike or bike the Cascades, ski in winter, kayak on Puget Sound, explore the San Juan Islands or escape to the Washington coast. Beyond the outdoors, the region offers great food and coffee, wineries and breweries, live music, arts, professional sports and vibrant communities. So much to explore and enjoy!

A Place That Loves Pets

The Pacific Northwest is famously pet-friendly. Dogs are welcome on trails, patios, beaches, many stores and around town, and pets are truly part of everyday life. For veterinary professionals, that means being part of a community that deeply values its animals.

Why Seattle?

Seattle brings it all together: the culture, restaurants, sports and energy of a major city surrounded by water, mountains and endless opportunities to get outside. Spend a day exploring Pike Place Market, catch a Sounders or Mariners game, head for the mountains or hop a ferry for an island getaway.

Come for the career. You may find plenty of reasons to stay.
