You have probably heard of Seattle Grace Hospital from the medical drama series, Grey’s Anatomy. You know, the famous workplace of McDreamy, McSteamy, and all of the other hotshot surgeons of the fictional dream team.
What many people don’t know is that Seattle Grace Hospital was once a real-world medical center in Seattle, Washington that opened in 1886. For a few decades, Seattle Grace was a 40-bed, two-story hospital. However, it was demolished in 1905.
Now, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but now is the time. To many fan’s dismay, Seattle Grace Hospital (later to be known as Seattle Grace Mercy West then Grey Sloan Memorial) is just a fictional hospital. Merely smoke and mirrors of Hollywood magic. But, that’s not to say you can’t head to Seattle and embrace the fact that “it’s a beautiful day to save lives.”
Indeed, there were scenes filmed in real-life locations! For example, the iconic Space Needle. Also, Meredith Grey’s home (located in Queen Anne), the Ferry Landing, and KOMO Plaza were used for a few shots of the beloved series. Take a look at our top 5 Airbnb rentals that will help you finally live out your medical dream. All listings are under $150 per night.
