MISSION STATEMENT

The purpose and mission of People First of Washington is to assist all
people to realize and appreciate that we are PEOPLE FIRST and our
disabilities are secondary. We are equal citizens in our communities.

Save the Date for the 45th Annual
2023 People First of Washington Convention!

September 8th, 9th and 10th, 2023
Ellensburg, WA

Convention art shows a spinning record as the wheel of a wheelchair with musical notes flying around it. The person in the chair is rockin' out! The type reflects the theme, that is, Rocking and Rolling in Roedeo City.
