BRANCH MISSION STATEMENT

With education as the cornerstone, the Lake Washington Branch fosters personal growth and friendships that empower members to impact the community and achieve equity for women and girls.

ABOUT US

The Lake Washington branch of AAUW was founded in 1940 by a group of women from the Bellevue and Mercer Island area of Puget Sound. 

Our members value education and equal rights for women and girls, but making connections with other women for friendships and intellectual stimulation is still an important reason women join us. Since the early days of our branch, we have grown to a membership of over 125 people (see website).

MEETING INFORMATION

Monthly Meetings start at 9:15 AM with coffee, then 9:45 AM for a business meeting, and then at 10:30 AM there is a planned program.  All held on the 2nd Wednesday in September, October, November, January, February, March, April, and May. We have a special event in December which will be announced as well as other programs and activities (see website).

MEETING LOCATION 12700 SE 32nd Street, Bellevue (Factoria)

While not affiliated with the church in any way, the general monthly meetings of the Lake Washington Branch of AAUW are held at a local church in the Factoria area of Bellevue, just off Richards Road near I-90.

From 405 Southbound, take exit #12, turn left (east) onto SE 8th, turning right onto Lake Hills Connector.  Make a right onto Richards Road.  Then continue on Richards Road making a right on SE 32nd Street.

From 405 Northbound, take exit #10, turn right onto Coal Creek Parkway, then left onto Factoria Blvd.  Go through the shopping district and under I-90, then turn left onto SE 32nd St.

From I-90 Eastbound, take exit #10B and turn left onto Richards Road, then left onto SE 32nd Street.

From I-90 Westbound, take ext #11 towards 156th Street and turn left onto Eastgate Way.  Continue westbound to Richards Road and turn right.  Go left immediately onto SE 32nd St.

Once you have turned onto SE 32nd Street, continue up the hill until you see the AAUW sign indicating the lower parking lot.  If you find it more comfortable to park close to the building, you may proceed to the church's driveway, parking to the left of the building complex.  There are spaces designed for handicapped access, as well as several non-handicapped ones.  The lower lot is a gravel lot so may want to wear appropriate footwear.  From there, proceed up the gravel path to the main building.  We meet in the North Room of the main sanctuary building. 

If you would prefer a map drawing of the meeting location, please type the address into MapQuest or Google Maps.

MEETINGS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
