Seattle has built a pretty slick coronavirus testing system... Here's an overview for folks who aren't familiar:
Last night at almost midnight, I determined that I needed a covid test. I went online, chose one of several city-run testing sites and registered for a time slot.

When I arrived at the appointment, there were others checking in but no line. They verified my info, then sent me along to one of the testers. He stabbed my brain twice.
I was done 3 minutes after I had arrived to the parking lot.

Results should be available online within 24 hours, accessible via a QR code or alphanumeric code.
And, perhaps most importantly, the test costs nothing for patients.

Testing is free even if you don't have symptoms. They encourage testing for people who "may" have been exposed to an infected person. I have no symptoms but informed them that I have been out in a lot of large crowds lately.

Update: My covid test results came back in less than 12 hours. Negative.
