Who We Are
The Puyallup Area Aging in Community Committee (PAAICC) is a group of local champions addressing aging issues including quality-of-life, independent housing and transportation concerns that will help to make the area livable for all ages.
Age-Friendly City Involvement
In 2016, Puyallup became the first age-friendly city in the state of Washington as designated by the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities, an institutional affiliate of the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities.
In receiving this distinction, Puyallup committed to optimizing opportunities for people of all ages. Subsequently, with the support of the city and the Puyallup Area Aging in Community Committee, a five-year action plan was developed that will focus on housing, transportation, communication, and respect and social inclusion. Adopted in early 2020, it was approved by the AARP in March 2020.
“If it takes a village to raise our children, then it takes a community to care for our elders.”
