Community Health Spotlight: keeping your kids lice-free with The Lice Clinic

by | Mar 5, 2026

As Seattle families return from winter break and kids head back into classrooms, local health professionals are seeing a familiar trend: a seasonal uptick in head lice cases. While head lice can occur year-round in our temperate region, close contact in schools and community activities after extended breaks often leads to an increase in cases that families need to address quickly and effectively.

That’s where The Lice Clinic steps in. Located across the street from the Greenwood Library at 8009 Greenwood avenue, this woman-owned local business has been serving Greater Seattle families since 2012 with professional lice removal services that are safe, non-toxic, and highly effective.

Owned and operated by founder Daria Whettam, The Lice Clinic has built a strong reputation for compassionate care and thorough service, helping thousands of families get back to daily life without the stress of lice infestations. Their clinic environment is welcoming, kid-friendly, and equipped to handle both diagnosis and full removal treatments—typically in a single appointment—with a five-week lice-free guarantee.

In addition to in-clinic appointments, they offer head checks, guidance on prevention, and mobile services for families who prefer treatment at home. Over the years, The Lice Clinic team has also formed strong partnerships with local schools and community organizations to support broader awareness and early intervention.

As many parents know, noticing an itchy scalp or finding nits after a break from school can be stressful—but you’re not alone. With the return of regular social routines after winter holidays, professionals like those at The Lice Clinic are ready to assist families across Seattle in tackling head lice quickly, effectively, and with minimal disruption.

Whether you’re curious about head checks or need support in a confirmed case, The Lice Clinic continues to be a trusted resource in our community for lice-related care and education.
