Vashon Senior Center: Enriching the lives of older adults on Vashon-Maury Island

Welcome! We hope you’ll visit in person soon and enjoy tasty food, great company and good cheer.

We serve hot meals & delicious salads Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at noon, and our Care-a-Van brings people here from all over the Island. We host over 20 programs every week that help keep senior bodies, minds and spirits fit, from Zumba to Tai Chi, Bridge to Mah Jongg, Meditation, Music Mends Minds and so many more. Our Senior Center Village takes the Senior Center out into the community, providing rides, chore help and friendly connections.

All are welcome at Vashon Senior Center, and our Members enjoy special discounts, trips and events. Check out our monthly calendar below or just drop in - we hope to see you soon!

STG Dance for PD® classes use dance, live music, and community in a safe and creative environment to support students in developing artistry and grace while addressing such PD-specific concerns as balance, flexibility, coordination, isolation, and gait. Working with professional dancers and teaching artists trained in the Dance for PD® method, participants are inspired to explore movement and music in ways that are refreshing, enjoyable, and stimulating. Whether seated or standing, people with Parkinson’s disease will enjoy this creative and welcoming class that is open to all abilities and mobility of movement. Live music is used to enhance the positive experience this class brings to participants, and all involved. No dance experience is required to participate. The classes are always free. STG Dance for PD® classes are based on the Dance for PD® method developed by Mark Morris Dance Group and Brooklyn Parkinson Group.

Covid Rapid Testing Required. Masks are optional to attend class.
These classes are in partnership with Vashon Senior Center.
