While all veterans are marked by the experience of war, some carry physical and psychological injuries, while others encounter employment and financial problems related.

Fortunately, there are numerous resources available to support veterans, as well as their family members, and ease the transition from active duty to civilian life. Below are a number of federal, state and county agencies that offer resources to assist veterans in the Seattle region.

If you should encounter any problems or have additional questions, you can always contact Jim’s Seattle office for assistance at 206-553-7170.
