Senior Center of West Seattle

My cup runneth over when I come to the Senior Center of West Seattle. It makes my insides churn with happiness! Come to Rainbow Bingo here, it’s held once a month or less– so get onto their mailing list. Also, it sells out a week in advance often so buy your tickets early! They are very good about seating you with your friends, even if you have a large party.
The drag queens hosting this event are AMAZING! Sylvia O’Stayformore is a hilarious, witty, and talented. DonnaTella Howe is phenomenal too! I love all the drag queens who help out with these events. It’s not your normal BINGO where people shush you, it’s BINGO to raise money for the senior center and have fun!
They sell pretty good food (veggie burgers, etc), beer, wine, and JELLO SHOTS!!! There’s nothing like a jello shot made with love. The jello shots are only $ 1! There are seniors selling popcorn… it’s just amazing.
They have raffle tickets that can get up to $ 700 prizes! I always buy these! You will get gentle pressure to donate it back to the worth cause of the senior center, but hey! If you donate half back, then you’re still up by $ 350 or so! I say go for it!
They also do other fun activities, not to mention the BINGO! Sylvia is a professional BINGO caller. It’s always clear and I can hear well. And if you cant, they display the numbers on the wall.
Come to the senior center, it’s fun for all ages :)

I resisted getting involved with a «senior center» and don’t remember what finally got me to step in the door. I’m glad I did. While it does have some of the atmosphere of a «rec center for the senior set,» it does provide some important social services, outreach and programs. I’m involved with a weekly discussion group dealing with the issues and challenges of getting older. I also started a book reading group that has continue for more than a year and involves a nice group of people.
