LGBTQIA+-affirming senior living & care in Washington

LGBTQ+ Seniors of the Inland Northwest is a member-driven, supportive and affirming network for older LGBTQIA+ people and their families around Spokane, Washington. Membership is not restricted to seniors. The calendar is social rather than clinical. Regular gatherings include Taco Tuesday on the first Tuesday of each month, potlucks, and Pride events. This is a volunteer network rather than an agency, so there is no office, no phone line and no published hours. Contact is by email, and the group's own site is the place to check what is coming up.

Sound Alliance of Older LGBTQ+, known as SAOL and formerly SAGE Olympia, was founded in 2011 and works to promote the wellness of older LGBTQIA+ people across Thurston County, Washington. It runs two regular monthly gatherings, both at established senior centers rather than at a separate LGBTQIA+ venue. The Olympia Senior Center group meets on second Tuesdays at 11:45am, at 224 Columbia Ave NW in Olympia. The Lacey group meets at the Virgil Clarkson Senior Center on the last Tuesday of the month at 11:30am, at 6757 Pacific Ave SE in Lacey. Meals cost between $4 and $8, and a one-time form is required the first time you attend. This is a volunteer network rather than an agency, run from a post office box. Contact the founder, Anna Schlecht, by phone or post.
