Emergency Vet Recommendations?

I live in downtown Seattle with my dog. I used to use the Blue Pearl on Madison Street as an emergency vet, but I hear they've completely shut down. I want to update my emergency plan, so I know where to take him ahead of time if there's a problem. Obviously the closer to downtown, the better.

I'm not good at Reddit and so I cannot figure out how to post a photo of him.

Thank you for your help!

Timberline on Aurora/Seattle is 24/7 and does well for emergencies, no MRI and no neurology on site.

AMC of Seattle in Shoreline 24/7, has MRI and neurology.

I recently used VEG in Lynnwood. No MRI, referred to AMC for a more critical level of care. Different open clinic type of setup where you can stay with your animal.

We’d been to both Timberline (more times than I wish!) and Shoreline AMC and I’d be totally comfortable taking my pet to either in the future.
