Help Us Keep Homeless Youth Warm This Winter
Posted in Community by Marilou Ubungen

That’s why we’re excited to announce Windermere’s “We’ve Got You Covered” winter drive benefitting YouthCare. Each night in Seattle, nearly 1,000 young people are homeless. And with the winter months quickly approaching, YouthCare is in dire need of survival supplies..

#YourStoryIsOurStory: Kicking off the School Year Right
Posted in #YourStoryIsOurStory, Community, and Windermere Foundation by Tara Sharp
Starting the school year can be nerve wracking; new friends, new classroom, and for some, a new school all together.

Windermere’s Annual Community Service Day Is today!
Posted in Community by Tara Sharp
Today you may notice your local Windermere office is closed, or it may take a little bit longer for your Windermere agent to get back to you. But we promise it’s for a very good reason: today is Windermere Community Service Day. Since 1984, our agents have taken one day a year off to dig into hands-on community service projects throughout the Western U.S.

June Perspectives
Posted in Community by Jill Jacobi Wood, OB Jacobi & Geoff Wood

We too want safe, vibrant and livable neighborhoods. Because of that we have committed to helping create and maintain communities that are thriving and interesting places to be. One way we do this is through our annual Community Service Day.
