How do I find demographic information about aging in Seattle?
For age-related population data, visit Aging and Disability Services, the Area Agency on Aging for Seattle & King County, which is a division of the Seattle Human Services Department.
How do I save money on bus, train, and ferry?
If you are age 65+, you qualify for a Regional Reduced Fare Permit ORCA Card for discounted fares on Metro Transit, Sound Transit, Washington State Ferries, King County Water Taxi, South Lake Union Streetcar, and more. If you are under age 65, you may qualify for an ORCA LIFT card (age 19-64 years, low-income, e.g., SNAP/EBT, TANF, and Medicaid beneficiaries). For information about both cards, visit MyORCA.com.
Publications
Age Friendly Seattle has conducted surveys, produced reports, and created guides on a range of topics. We do this often in partnership with other City of Seattle departments or community organizations. We hope these resources will be useful to others who are interested in incorporating an age-friendly lens into their work. If you’d like to see a specific resource or tool created for your line of work, please contact us at agefriendly@seattle.gov. We welcome ideas!
