What lenders have already approved in King County
Lenders in King County have already closed 91 healthcare approvals, averaging $465,768, which is the size a new file gets read beside
| Line | Amount | Reading and source |
|---|---|---|
| Approvals on record | 91 | Fiscal year published in the SBA file [5] |
| Total approved capital | $42,384,900 | Sum of approvals to healthcare borrowers [5] |
| Mean deal size | $465,768 | Dollars divided by approvals [5] |
| Lenders sited in the county | 1,205 | Credit intermediation establishments, NAICS 522 [6] |
The consequence of these numbers
At 22.6 clinicians per 10,000 residents, the catchment radius in a projection has to be defended rather than assumed. A request measured against 91 prior King County approvals is priced on precedent, which shortens the questions about valuation. With $158,868 as the median household income, the payer mix in a projection has to match what Lake Forest Park households actually spend.

Ranked from the 10 fields that actually practice in Lake Forest Park, weighted toward primary care and family medicine. Availability still depends on Washington and on the funding partner.
