Community News & Announcements:
Shout Out!
 "Thanks Seattle Home Appliance! Our refrigerator suddenly stopped working yesterday. Today not only did they "fit us in" their already booked schedule, they were on time, courteous, quick, helpful and informative. The tech fixed the fridge within a few minutes because he had the part we needed in the truck. Then the tech even vacuumed out the bottom of the fridge and cleaned everything up. Why go anywhere else."

Recognizing & Preventing Senior Fraud Presented by Hugg & Associates, PLLC
Tuesday, April 23
Northshore Senior Center
12:45 - 2:00 PM
Senior citizens are a rapidly increasing segment of the population and that makes them a prime target for consumer fraud.
Anyone can be the victim of fraud. There are a lot of scam artists out there, and lots of people who are willing to trust them. Seniors make up about 11% of the US population, but a higher percentage of seniors are victims of consumer fraud.
Whether through the mailbox, the telephone or the Internet, criminals are finding creative ways into people's homes. Half of those victims are age 50 and older. Being able to recognize consumer scams can reduce the likelihood of being victimized by more than 50 percent. Learn how to protect yourself!
