Shine
Shine offers essential oncology products, services and guidance. Many of the products are custom measured and personal, requiring your presence in the store. Shine offers delivery and is not an online retailer. Your purchase helps support patient and family services at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. That's right, it's retail therapy that helps others.
Following the merger of long-time partners, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, the organization was renamed to Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center. We are an independent, nonprofit organization that also serves as UW Medicine's cancer program.

Shine is open Monday-Friday 9am-6pm and Saturday 10am-4pm. All oncology fittings require an appointment. Please call (206) 606-7560 or email retail@seattlecca.org.

Our story
Oncology patients have particular needs that go beyond those services provided by the medical community. The Shine staff are collaborative partners guiding you through an unfamiliar process in a friendly and non-clinical atmosphere. Our knowledgeable and approachable team knows the questions to ask and can recommend products and educate you about those things you might not even know you need.
What makes our shop unique is the thoughtful gathering of necessary oncology products and supportive services that you can't typically find in one spot.
Fred Hutch is made up of an extraordinary group whose sole mission is the pursuit of better, longer, richer lives for our patients. Shine is an expression of this mission in action – a unique destination where patient care and retail therapy overlap with 100 percent of our profits benefiting Fred Hutch patient and family programs.
