Renton PD Investigating, Urgent Care Closed for Repairs

North Benson Urgent Care is closed to in-person visits following an overnight shooting incident in the Fred Meyer plaza. Renton PD is investigating. Our facility was not open when the incident occurred, no patients or employees were harmed.

North Benson Urgent Care provides care for hundreds of community members each week and it’s extremely disappointing this incident will impact access to care for those who need it most. While repairs are being made, staff have been redeployed to our other three urgent care locations to help manage the high volume of patients who need to be seen.

Those seeking care are welcome to see our remarkable providers for an urgent care telehealth visit or hop in line/check wait times for other nearby Valley urgent care locations at www.valleymed.org/wait-times.

If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please call 9-1-1 immediately.
