AgeWise King County Newsletter

August 2025
This month’s issue centers on strength, safety, and standing up for what matters. You’ll find reflections on Social Security’s 90-year legacy, insight into federal budget changes impacting older adults, and a call to action to protect long-term care residents. We also recap a Civic Coffee on personal safety, share summer wellness tips for travel and heart health, and celebrate the sweetness of the season—with a spotlight on berries! Plus, don’t miss your chance to nominate an outstanding volunteer making a difference in our community.
