Bartell Drugs

Bartell Drugs’ roots in the Pacific Northwest began in 1890, when an ambitious 21-year-old pharmacist from Kansas decided to buy the Lake Washington Pharmacy in Seattle’s Central District.

George H. Bartell, Sr., devoted his efforts to offering innovative products, trusted and personalized pharmacy experiences and guest service second to none. Bartell had a short list of priorities when he started: help his customers stay healthy and keep them coming back for more by offering a great selection as well as what we call Red Vest Service— a staff ready to go above and beyond to help their neighbors and guests get what they need in a clean and welcoming environment.
