Historical Note

The Puget Sound Alliance for Retired Americans (PSARA) is a Seattle-based branch of the Alliance for Retired Americans. Founded in 1981, PSARA affiliated with the national Alliance of Retired Americans in 2001.

In 2002, the organization changed its name to the Puget Sound Council of Senior Citizens. The organization changed its name again in June of 2012 to the Puget Sound Advocates for Retirement Action and disaffiliated with the national Alliance of Retired Americans. The organization still works in close coordination with the Washington State Alliance of Retired Americans.
