Next Step Pregnancy Services opened in I998 in Shoreline, WA as a pregnancy support center offering counseling on alternatives to abortion and providing an array of material goods—diapers and wipes, layettes, clothing, formula, toys and other baby items to new mothers.
In 2010, we moved to Lynnwood and became a medical pregnancy clinic adding early ultrasound exams and pregnancy testing to our other services. In 2019 we moved into a newly-remodeled clinic located 2 blocks from the busy intersection of Highway 99 and 196th St SW in Lynnwood. From this location, we serve women and families throughout the Greater Seattle area. And in 2023 our medical specialists were able to add STI testing and treatment, APR services, and post-reproductive loss grief care to our growing list of free services.
In 2023
- 301 women came to our clinic for a free pregnancy test
