King County homelessness rises as unsheltered numbers jump
​Melissa Santos AXIOS
The number of people experiencing homelessness in King County rose 9% between 2024 and 2026, according to a new point-in-time count released Tuesday. The latest count was conducted between Jan. 26 and Feb. 6.  
  • More than 11,800 people were living unsheltered this year — meaning they were on the street or in a place not designated for sleeping, such as a car or abandoned building.
  • That's up from 9,810 unsheltered people who were counted two years ago — an increase of nearly 21%.

​West Seattle Summer of Preparedness 2026!

The West Seattle Hubs are hosting a series of learning sessions focused in emergency preparedness. Attend any or all of these events to be better prepared and to be ready to help your community after a disaster.
Picture

Hub 101 Volunteer Training
Learn how an “Emergency Hub” works so you can quickly jump in and support your neighbors post-disaster.  We’ll practice the basic roles and run thru “scripts” (situations we think our neighbors will come to the Hub with).  It’s great fun and interactive.  You’ll quickly grasp how everything works together and feel much more prepared to support your household – and your neighbors!
Two identical sessions, please sign up and tell us your nearest Hub so we can seat neighbors together.
  • Weds, July 22, 6:30 - 8:30pm
  • West Seattle Golf Course Clubhouse (4470 35th Ave SW)
  • https://signup.com/go/bBzAMoE
  • Sunday, July 26, 1 – 3pm
  • High Point Library (3411 SW Raymond St)
  • https://signup.com/go/ZhoGtYO

Field Exercise for all West Seattle Hubs 
  • Saturday, Aug 15, 10 – 2pm
  • Morgan Junction Park ( 6401 California Ave SW)
This year we will set up a Hub and practice at Morgan Junction Park. All West Seattle Hubs will participate at that location. All interested parties are encouraged to attend. We'll need neighbors to put the Emergency Hub volunteers through their paces. Large exercises are fun, informative, and inspiring.  Plan on joining in!! More details coming this summer.

Save Traditional Medicare stop WISeR
Tell your Congress critter to sign onto House Resolution 701​
​

Washington state is one of 6 states that will be part of a federal pilot project to require prior authorization for several medical procedures under Traditional Medicare, which currently does not require prior authorizations.

Trump wants to insert private AI companies between seniors on Medicare and their doctors—with prior authorization creating delays and denials in getting the care you need. This is an effort to cut Medicare benefits for seniors. I’ll be fighting to block this every way I can.

— Senator Patty Murray (@murray.senate.gov) September 15, 2025 at 1:12 PM
PSARA (Puget Sound Advocates for Retirement Action) has just launched a campaign to stop a RFK Jr. pilot project to allow another path to healthcare privatization called 'prior authorization into Traditional Medicare' and WA state is one of six states chosen for this “honor.” 

​We have until Jan. 1 2026 to stop it. The Trump/Kennedy administration plans to attack original Medicare beneficiaries in Washington with the WISeR pilot program. WISeR expands prior authorization in Original Medicare using artificial intelligence (AI) to decide if medical procedures recommended by your provider will be covered by Medicare. Private AI companies that contract with Medicare will profit more by denying care. 

PSARA is doing outreach with our Federal electeds and talking with our Insurance Commissioner and others. Officers from PSARA will be sharing with our membership this important and informative work they are undertaking so we can learn more about what is coming out of the current administration's healthcare policies, how it will affect millions of Washingtonians, and what we can do to stop the potential devastation coming our way!


Food Bank is available to all residents at Arrowhead Gardens
2nd & 4th Thursdays 1:00pm to 2:30pm.
Staffed by resident volunteers.
