James C. Blair, III, PA-C, is one of the founding members at North Star Clinic in Port Townsend, Washington. With over 28 years of experience in the field, he is a seasoned physician’s assistant and provides high-quality and effective care to patients.
Originally from Nevada, James moved to Wenatchee, Washington, when he was 13. Before becoming a physician assistant, he worked as an emergency and flight nurse.
James graduated from the Physician Assistant Program at MEDEX Northwest in Seattle, Washington, and completed his clinicals in Las Vegas, Nevada. He is dually board certified in medicine and surgery. After graduating, he worked as the director of two separate emergency departments in Lake Chelan and Newport, Washington.
He relocated to Port Townsend, Washington, in 2003 and worked in orthopedic surgery. From 2006 to 2019, James owned and operated an urgent care center, where he got to know the community and commonly treated multiple generations of patients.
He has chosen not to be in a corporate medicine model, where patients are rushed and feel like just a number. Instead, James treats the entire patient, adopting a holistic approach. For this reason, he has embraced North Star Clinic’s vision since its beginnings in 2019.
In his free time, James stays active with his family. He enjoys outdoor recreation like horseback riding and hunting. He also enjoys watching Seahawks football.

"I have a long history of working in the hospital setting providing healthcare and have been disappointed with the way we provide care. Someone asked what I would do if I had billions of dollars. I said I would build my own medical facility designed for patients. It would have large windows, be in nature, patients would not feel like an inconvenience, and have lots of staff. They replied ‘So, you would still work’? I just laughed and said, ‘yes I would’."
“I absolutely despise going to healthcare appointments normally, so I'd been putting it off. As soon as I stepped into Janice's office I was immediately put at ease. She was thorough, listened to and addressed my concerns, and made me feel comfortable the whole visit. She also spent quite a bit of time with me compared to doctors I've had in the past, it was so nice! Will recommend to others. :) Also, I didn't catch the lady at the front desk's name. But she is also great!”
