In a year of economic uncertainty, we recognize that many are rethinking budget priorities. This includes revisiting the Washington State biannual budget.

AARP Washington is pleased to welcome two new Executive Council Members, Ed Escalante of Bellevue and Kay Tomlinson of Lake Tapps. This volunteer leadership team plays a pivotal role in shaping the strategic vision and initiatives for nearly 870,000 members across the state.
