We request 2 weeks’ advanced notice for any ride requests. Rides are FREE but donations are welcome. For seniors living with disabilities, you must be able to get in and out of a small car or van with minimal assistance. We can provide interpreters during ride requests for non-English speakers. Call (206)-448-5740 or 1-800-282-5815 to request a ride or to get more information. Our representatives are available Monday-Friday, 8:00AM-4:30PM.
