Do This!
A healthy older population in Sammamish will benefit from intentional activities because Sammamish Seniors will help address their emotional, social, physical and intellectual needs. These needs are pressing, now more than ever.

Every area adjacent to or near Sammamish has a Senior Center. As one of the highest income areas in Washington State, it is possible for Sammamish to have a permanent place where its older adults can gather in a safe and healthy environment and it’s needed!
