The organization is the combination of two successful Seattle group ophthalmology practices: Eye Associates of Seattle and the Eye Clinic of Seattle. These groups trace their roots to individual physician practices established in the 1930s. Dr. H. Frederick Thorlakson opened his office in the Cobb Building in 1931, specializing in eye, ear, nose, and throat medicine. Dr. Carl D. Jensen began his ophthalmology practice in the Medical Dental Building in 1934. The two groups merged, and Eye Associates Northwest, PC was incorporated in Seattle in 1993. Today, the team supports patients with general and specialty eye care, including cataract evaluations, glaucoma management, and retinal concerns. For contact lens services, the practice utilizes impression-based technology using EyePRINTPro and EyeFITPro design, as well as scan-based lens software using the corneo-scleral profile via a Pentacam Tomography machine. They have partnered with OVITZ to create wavefront corrected lenses to reduce high-order aberrations, which can cause glare, halos, and visual disturbance.

The office sits on Madison Street in the heart of the First Hill neighborhood. It is located just steps from Boren Avenue and across from the Seattle Facial Plastic Surgery Center and Seattle Surgery Center, both within a tenth of a mile. The historic Stimson-Green Mansion is also nearby, about a fifth of a mile away. This central placement on Madison Street provides easy access for patients seeking medical diagnosis, specialty treatment, or surgical evaluation in the Seattle area.
