The Southeast Seattle Senior Center (SESSC), located in the Rainier Valley, offers activities designed to include all physical stages of aging, including exercise programs, computer classes, weaving and quilting classes, card clubs, line dance classes, Spanish classes, recreational trips, and much more. The B&B Diner, SESSC’s in-house eatery, serves hot meals five days a week. There is a peer-led group for lesbians. Trips, informational presentations on topics relevant to older adults, lunch at a reduced rate, a social worker, and foot care and massage are also available.

SESSC is a member of the Rainier Chamber of Commerce and the Seattle Rainier Lions Club.

PAEP or Pacific Asian Empowerment Program was born out of a grassroots demand by Filipinos, Tongans, Hmong, Mien, Laotians, Samoan, Polynesian volunteers, and clients demanding changes from oppression and lack of understanding by larger groups and agencies that had not been culturally sensitive to their heritage and needs.

PAEP and its Senior Nutrition Congregate Meal Program addresses many important issues such as diminishing and alleviating hunger, isolation, loneliness, depression, malnutrition, obesity, inactivity, and sedentary lifestyles.  When the seniors come to the meal sites they socialize, exercise, listen to music, sing, dance, eat a healthy and tasty meal using ingredients similar to the foods they were used to eat back home.  The seniors receive good, helpful information, peer counselling, information and referral, food bank donated items.  They sometimes play bingo, watch the news and discuss issues and current events with others.  We are helping families and seniors in the Seattle, King County area to live healthier, happier and more independent lives, thus contributing to an improved community with a healthier and more productive population.

The Sno-Valley Senior Center serves the Snoqualmie Valley (Duvall, Carnation, Fall City, and Redmond Ridge). All services, from Meals on Wheels to caregiver support to fitness and social activities, are open to all.

GenPride empowers older LGBTQ adults to live with pride and dignity by promoting, connecting, and developing innovative programs and services that enhance belonging and support, eliminate discrimination, and honor the lives of older members of our community.
