It was the first such institute in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and was created in 1956 by Dr. William B. Hutchinson under its former name the Pacific Northwest Research Foundation (PNRF); that name still remains on the exterior of the building. Its name evolved to the Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) until 2008 when the Institute added Diabetes to its name making it the Pacific Northwest Diabetes Research Institute. In 1972, PNRF received federal funding to develop a division called Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center into an independent research institute: This institute was opened 3 years later.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
Change horses, making history change its tune,
Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
