They kept a good eye on me and helped me the entire process as far as what to do next, where to go, and what to do. There is a lot of information you have to read and go over so having someone there to help was great. The whole thing took about three hours but that's only because I was a new donor and had to go through my physical, completing a health survey and registering so that's understandable. Michael Freed

I've been coming here consistently for a little over a year now, and it genuinely feels like I'm stopping by to hang out with friends who just happen to take some blood from me and feed me snacks. Everyone here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and what really stands out is how familiar and sincere the staff are with each other and with donors. There's clearly very little turnover, and it shows. People know your name, greet you like you're a regular, and actually seem to enjoy being there. It gives big "Cheers" vibes, but with juice boxes. I've donated whole blood many times here and platelets as well, and every experience has been smooth and comfortable. The staff are professional, have steady hands, and make the process easy and not stressful at all. Brittany and Abby are two names I remember, but honestly every single person I've interacted with has been wonderful. I've never once left thinking, "I hope I don't get that person next time." Quite the opposite. I never thought I'd describe donating blood as a fun experience, but here we are. If you're going to do something good for the world, you might as well do it somewhere that makes you feel appreciated and comfortable. Wonderful humans!

This was my first donation at an on-site, brick and mortar donation center. Overall, it was quite…read morea nice experience. The people who did the standard health check, did the draw (power red - also a first for me), and checked in on me throughout were extremely kind, thorough, helpful, and professional. The donation area's chairs were very comfortable, and the donation process was very smooth and easy. The only real downside was the surly attitude general unpleasantness of the person working the front desk. Had I been a first-time donor, I'd probably have turned around and walked away, but I'm happy that I didn't.

I was a good and reliable donator and felt good about helping people through my donations. Even the nurse said the medication's are authorized. She told me I'm done donating because of my deliberate deception. I see a lot of people go through there that are extremely questionable and I'm certain not all of them are 100% honest with whatever they're putting in their bodies. That nurse was insulting and demeaning. Oh, and by the way, they give you about $40 for your donation and then turn around and sell it for almost $1000 so if this is the nursing staff you're hiring BioLife from now on FU.

A phlebotomist makes an error on the needle stick? The DONOR is the one who is blamed and deferred. When people go back for their screenings, you can hear their conversations from the waiting room, posing a risk to the respective donor's PHI, potentially violating HIPPA. These are just some of many unprofessional episodes witnessed and experienced here. As someone who works in healthcare, I am horrified and disgusted. Unacceptable. I'm surprised they are still in business.

I have a love/hate relationship with this place. I love that they allow hemochromatosis patients to…read moregive blood with a prescription but really do not like how difficult they make donating. 1) I've received scar tissue in my arm from bad needle jabs. 2) Scheduling for therapeutic draws is needlessly complex and the donation must be done during M-F, not on the weekends. 3) The attitude is really odd and off-putting, especially compared to the Red Cross where the people they serve seem to be the focus rather than the employee. 4) They don't allow kids on the premises. Red Cross does. Doctors offices do. As a working parent with few babysitting options, this seems pretty inequitable. I love the idea that the blood I have to get out of my body can be used for donations but Bloodworks NW makes it such an obnoxious experience, I will donate at the Red Cross when I can and have my doctor'a office do the phlebotomy and discard the blood when I can't.

The workers were nice, though most seemed like this is their first go round doing this. And the patients were well behaved and clean cut. I think everyone needs an appointment? Plan on your visit taking much longer than advertised as well. Especially your first. It's just not for me or worth the risk vs. payment.

I used to donate plasma at this location and decided to come back for some extra cash. I came in on…read moreMonday after being away for a few months, so I had to redo all the initial steps -- no big deal, I expected that. At the medical check, I was denied because of a small scrape on my arm. Odd, but it's their policy, so I understood. I came back today (Wednesday) at 4:30 PM. The location was busy with a mix of new and returning donors. I checked in at the front desk (the woman at station 1, on the right side) and was told I needed to go to medical first. I waited until 5:45 PM -- over an hour -- before I noticed someone who'd checked in after me get called back to medical ahead of me. When I asked staff about it, they told me I hadn't actually been added to the queue. They quickly took my back and checked my scrape (took about two minutes) and "cleared me", but then I had to redo my initial check-in and get back in line for medical again. At that point I'd already lost over an hour to what should've been a quick med check and donation. I waited another 20 minutes in line and left. What's frustrating is that this was entirely avoidable -- if they'd just added me to the queue correctly the first time, and the medical check could've happened along with my scrape check instead of me being sent to the back of the line twice.
