Our team had a great afternoon with APTA CEO Justin Moore, PT, DPT at our Kirkland clinic. The range of topics was amazing from the structure of the healthcare system, payer payments with Premera Blue Cross cuts coming, the demand of PT for the nation, the epidemic of clinician burnout, tuition costs for DPT programs, and the mentorship. We truly appreciate the time and willingness to reach out to private practices while in town for the APTA Washington's 100th birthday!

A proud moment for our team: Victor Kollar, PT introducing our 2026 Professional Development Award winner, Taylor Graham PT, DPT, COMT.

Taylor's trajectory has been extraordinary. From former DPT Intern, mentee turned mentor, newly certified COMT and now an OCS candidate, she continuously raises the bar. Beyond clinical excellence, she enriches our entire community: leading our monthly in-services, launching our new PT social group, guiding our Thursday night run group, and supporting our local race events all while taking on students and competing as an ultra-marathoner.

We originally did not have room for Taylor when she completed her internship from the University of Washington Physical Therapy program but we recognized her as a special talent, we had to move schedules to make it work. Today, she continues to advance along our leadership and partnership track.
Congratulations, Taylor!

Meet Peyton Colee, PT, DPT, physical therapist at Lake Washington Physical Therapy in West Seattle (Alki).
Born and raised in Seattle, Peyton brings a deep passion for movement, the Pacific Northwest outdoors, and individual-focused rehabilitation to our Alki clinic. A former competitive rower at Holy Names Academy and freeride skier at Colorado College, Peyton’s firsthand experience navigating sports injuries ignited her drive to help athletes and active locals overcome setbacks, rebuild resilient movement patterns, and Get Better.
Peyton earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Washington. Her clinical background spans high-level sports medicine, outpatient orthopedics, vestibular rehabilitation, and post-surgical recovery. At LWPT, she applies our signature one-on-one care model, partnering directly with every patient to decode biomechanics, restore joint stability, and build long-term confidence. Whether you are prepping for backcountry ski season in the Cascades, training for your next trail run, or recovering from surgery, Peyton meets you where you are with active, evidence-based physical therapy.
When she is out of the clinic, you can find Peyton backcountry skiing, climbing, trail running toward her goal of summiting Washington’s 100 tallest peaks, or working in the pottery studio.
