Childrenメs Orthopedic Hospital relocated from Queen Anne to new facility in Laurelhurst

On Apr. 11, 1953, Childrenメs Orthopedic Hospital, now Seattle Childrenメs, relocated from Queen Anne to its new facility in Laurelhurst. It was an all-volunteer operation, with taxis and ambulances moving patients while moving vans took supplies and equipment. Boy and Girl Scouts held signs along the 5-mile route to guide drivers. The hospital reloated its facilities to be closer to the new UW Medical and Dental School.
