AARP honors local family caregiver Stuart Seibel of Yakima with the Washington state "Portrait of Care".

AARP Washington and more than 40 other advocacy and community service services organizations that advocate and serve thousands of older adults in King County and the State of Washington are deeply concerned that United Way’s new funding priorities will no longer include investments in programs that serve older adults and people with disabilities.
