Seattle is a seaport city on the west coast of the United States. It is the seat of King County, Washington. For many reasons, Seattle can be an optimal spot for older adults to live in:


  1. Healthcare facilities: Seattle has renowned medical centers and hospitals, including the University of Washington Medical Center and Swedish Medical Center. These facilities provide access to quality healthcare services and specialized treatments.

  2. Programs and Services: Seattle has a range of programs and services for older adults, including senior centers, community organizations, and social activities. One example is Aging and Disability Services (ADS), which plans, coordinates, and advocates for a comprehensive service delivery system for older adults, family caregivers and people with disabilities in King County. ADS provides a key link between federal and state funding for services for older residents and family caregivers in the Seattle-King County area and the community-based organizations that deliver the services. ADS is committed to helping communities become more age-friendly under criteria established by AARP and the World Health Organization. ADS promotes evidence-based programs in the Seattle-King County area that can keep you moving and help you stay connected.

  3. Cultural attractions and recreational opportunities: Seattle is known for its rich arts and cultural scene, with theaters, museums, art galleries, and music venues. The city also offers beautiful parks, green spaces, and outdoor recreational activities, providing opportunities for leisure and physical activity.

  4. Walkability and public transportation: Many neighborhoods in Seattle are walkable, with pedestrian-friendly streets and access to public transportation, including buses and light rail. This can make it easier for older adults to navigate the city and reach various destinations.

The physical climate of the Pacific Northwest is pretty nice - it rarely gets too hot or too cold, and not a lot of things bite or sting. Seattle has lots of stuff in it, which can be a plus, but there are too many people crowded into the space. Especially too many crazy people and too many yuppies.

Transportation, general livability, community engagement. The transit system is accessible to the elderly, there is a lot of help for the elderly and the community looks out for them and does what they can to help them.
