Spend the Day With Your Extended Family
Discover a day filled with connection in the heart of Seattle’s historic International District.
Our day program gives you access to our community’s vibrant culture and professional support while you return to the comfort of your own home at night.
Imagine spending your morning blocks away from the bustling Uwajimaya Village or relaxing near the pagoda at Hing Hay Park. It’s the perfect balance for those who want to thrive socially without leaving their familiar surroundings.
