Evergreen Hearing Clinic opens its doors in Kirkland in 1979 with only two employees. We are honored to assist over 800 patients before the end of our first year.

St. Helens erupts, the first PC (by IBM) is introduced, we see the premiere of MTV and internally the clinic introduces speech therapy, changing the clinic's name to Evergreen Speech & Hearing Clinic.
