Sound Generations - Lake City-Northgate Senior Center Project

Established in 1967, Sound Generations is a comprehensive non-profit organization that serves older adults and adults with disabilities in King County. Sound Generations, previously known as Senior Services, supports almost 54,000 people annually. Our organization is Washington State’s largest provider of comprehensive services for aging adults and their loved ones located in King County. Our Mission: We support people on their aging journey through community connections and accessible services. Our Vision: We envision a just society where aging adults and those who care about them can live their best lives. We strive to expand the provision of food security, transportation, health & wellness, and assistance services to underserved and marginalized populations. Our programs and affiliated service sites provide accessible resources and services across King County. We are committed to helping everyone, including low income communities and people of color. We work to ensure people feel included and respected in a community that affirms aging.

The Lake City-Northgate Senior Center Project, a program of Sound Generations, provides services, classes, recreation, food security and much more to older adults in the community, which are affordable or free and focused on equity and inclusion. Our model without walls for a senior center provides health promotion activities, education, recreation, and community engagement and serves communities of color and low income older adults. Our partnerships with SeaMar have allowed us to grow our Latinx participant base, while our partnership with Chinese Information Services Center has allowed for outreach to Mandarin and Cantonese speaking older adults. We also have a program for East African elders that is based in Northgate that operates on Tuesdays out of the Northgate Community Center.
