It Takes More than Love to Care for a Loved One.Every day more than 820,000 Washingtonians perform a great labor of love: caring for older parents, spouses, and other loved ones so they can remain at home—where they want to be.

Join us on Friday, August 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the Sea-Tac Community Center for an evening of fun, food, and celebration as we commemorate the 90th anniversary of Social Security. Let’s groove to R&B music from the ‘70s, '80s, '90s, and today—plus instructor-led line dancing throughout the night.

Starting May 14, AARP is launching Countdown to 90 Years—a recognition and call to action leading up to the 90th anniversary of Social Security on August 14, 2025. For nine decades, Social Security has been a stable and reliable foundation of retirement security for millions of Americans—and we believe it must remain that way for generations to come.
