INTRODUCTION

The City of Seattle created this directory to identify discounts for older adults and adults with disabilities. Some of the businesses listed provide a discount when you present your card. Others provide their own discount and neither a Gold nor FLASH Card is required.

Businesses define "senior" differently (for example, age 60 or 65). Some organizations extend discounts only to holders of the Gold Card for Healthy Aging (senior identification card) or FLASH Card (for adults with disabilities).

Notice: This directory does not provide a complete list of discounts for older adults or persons with disabilities. Vendor participation in the directory is voluntary and free. The City of Seattle has not investigated the services listed, and neither endorses the businesses nor warrants the services, products or quality offered. We do not guarantee that businesses offer the lowest price. Discounts and terms listed may change or be discontinued at any time without notice.

We urge you to compare prices and seek advertised specials. Before you make a major purchase, weigh your options carefully. Check out the businesses you are thinking of doing business with by contacting the Better Business Bureau (go to on the Web or call (206) 431-2222). When purchasing services, request a written estimate or contract describing the work and the cost.

If you have comments about services you receive from the businesses listed in this directory, we would like to hear from you. If you know of a business or service not listed here that offers discounts to seniors and/or persons with disabilities, call us at (206) 684-0500 or e-mail agefriendly@.

To access information about a variety of services and resources for adults 60 and over, or adults with disabilities in King County, call Community Living Connections toll-free at 1(844) 348-5464 or (206) 962-8467.

GOLD & FLASH CARDS

FLASH (Fun Leisure Access Savings and Health) Card

Seattle's FLASH Card -- Fun Leisure Access Savings and Health -- is a discount and identification card for adults with disabilities living in Seattle and King County. Similar to the popular Gold Card for Healthy Aging, the FLASH Card features the King County 2-11.

Embossed in Braille, the card also provides access to discounts on goods and services listed in a Special Discounts Directory.

Eligibility requirements for the FLASH Card are the same as for a Metro Transit reduced fare permit for persons with disabilities. People with temporary disabilities may receive a paper FLASH Card with an expiration date.

? SightConnection ? Special Technology Access Resources (STAR) Center ? Alliance of People with Disabilities
