Family Services

Lake Washington School District recognizes there are a number of families in need in our community. It can be difficult to know where to turn when you need help. That is why the Homeless Liaison developed a list of community resources to support students, parents and families in our community, whether homeless or not. The list of community resources is organized below by type of services offered. This list is not intended to be complete. If you know of other resources that should be added to the list, please contact Catherine Cruz at 425-936-1469.
