Projects in the works

We are working with the Federal Way Lions "Make Music Day" a great event. We will collaborate on a video for White Cane Safety Day in October. Make some noise so people can get services and get connected in South King County.

Low Vision Clinic is open four days a week

The Seattle Lighthouse for the Blind, 2501 S. Plum Street, Seattle, is open by appointment. An optometrist and occupational therapist are on site, serving King County and surrounding counties. Call 206-426-2228. The store sells CCTVs, sun glasses, canes, and much more. Measures are taken to keep people safe during CoVid-19.

Calling all photographers
