The 7 Best Retirement Communities in Washington State

If you're planning to retire soon you may be overwhelmed trying to find the best retirement communities in Washington State. As one of the top retirement destinations in the country Washington has thousands of retirement destinations. That’s why we compiled a list of the 7 best senior living communities in the area.

Your first criteria should be location. Most retirement communities in Washington State are on the eastern coastal area, so look for a city that is senior friendly, has the amenities you enjoy, and has easy access to any future medical care you might need. It is common to move closer to family, so consider the distance between the community you are eyeing and your children and grandchildren.

Once you know your preferred location you can narrow your choices by your needs: if you just want a senior community look for Independent Living in Seattle and if you need some help with daily living chores or assistance while recovering from an illness you can further define your search by adding Seattle Assisted Living or Respite care in Seattle.

Here's a look at seven of the best assisted living facilities and retirement communities in Washington State:
