Age Friendly Coalition for Seattle and County

Jump to: Civic Coffee | Previous Events | Other

This countywide community-based Age Friendly Coalition (formerly "task force") supports implementation of Age Friendly Seattle and is available to assist suburban cities and communities in launching age-friendly initiatives. The coalition and its steering committee meet on alternate months, third Fridays. Four additional committees meet on their own schedules—Active Transportation & Outdoor Spaces; Housing; Outreach, Advocacy & Communications; and Social & Civic Participation. For more information, click here.

The Age Friendly Coalition and its committees are supported by the Age Friendly Seattle team. Questions? E-mail agefriendly@seattle.gov.

Age Friendly Seattle Virtual Events

Out of an abundance of caution, Age Friendly Seattle events will occur online (live and/or recorded) until it is safe for older people and anyone with a compromised immune system to attend indoor events in person.

Following is information about our monthly Civic Coffee and special events, when scheduled. For information about past events, scroll down to Previous Events. 

Civic Coffee

Age Friendly Seattle's Civic Coffee is a monthly event where older people can meet community leaders and local  government officials, ask questions and provide feedback. A wide range of issues, programs and services are presented and discussed in a panel format. See Previous Events, below, for topics covered over the years.

Civic Coffee takes place on the fourth Thursday of each month, from 10:30-12 noon Pacific Time (90 minutes) with some exceptions.
