Washington Oakes: Driven by Community

Sep 10, Alissa Sauer

Washington Oakes is known throughout Everett for its strong connection to the surrounding community. That connection was on full display at our recent car show, where residents spent time with their families, neighbors stopped to talk, and the cars on display sparked plenty of stories.

Learn more about our classic car show and our commitment to building community and connection for our residents.

Community, Connection, & Classic Cars

We all have a car story. A familiar make or model can bring back memories of a first car, a family road trip, or a Saturday spent with Dad, learning life lessons with the hood up. For our Everett neighbors, the car show offered an easy way to meet someone new, listen to live music, enjoy good food, share a few stories, and connect over a common interest.

The strong sense of connection is an important part of daily life at Washington Oakes. In our award-winning independent living and assisted living community, a thoughtfully curated calendar encourages connection and community, bringing joy and purpose to a new age of senior living.

The Social Side of Wellness

A car show doesn’t look like a traditional wellness program – and that’s the point. More than a car show, the event reflected the holistic approach to wellness provided by PrimeFit Wellness™, a signature program exclusive to Leisure Care communities, like Washington Oakes.

Through PrimeFit Wellness™, older adults have robust opportunities to boost their physical, mental, emotional, social, and communal health. PrimeFit takes wellness beyond the walls of a fitness center and puts it at the center of everyday life.

Preserving the Past. Preparing for the Future.

The cars weren’t the only pieces of history we celebrated that day. Washington Oakes is located in a renovated former school, and our latest updates preserve the building’s character while creating welcoming new spaces. While the updates are new, the heart of Washington Oakes remains the same: people who notice one another, make room at the table, and show up for the moments that matter.

If you have been curious about Washington Oakes independent living or assisted living, come spend some time with us. You can see the renovations, meet the people who live and work here, and get a feel for daily life in the community. Schedule your tour today.
