PREPARE FOR A DAY FULL OF FUN & LAUGHTER FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY

RHAWA can be defined as a lot of things: we’re a not-for-profit organization and we offer resources, education, and more – but the reason we do it all? YOU, OUR MEMBERS.

People like you are the reason RHAWA was formed over 90 years ago, and we appreciate your tireless efforts that continue to this day. While the political environment surrounding small housing providers may seem like a never-ending uphill battle, we have had some MAJOR wins this year already. Due to your amazing support, we struck down six potential rent control bills! With your contributions to our Political Action Committee (PAC), we are also supporting new candidates in city councils and more across Washington to elect lawmakers who support the industry. Your contributions to our Legal Defense Fund help hire attorneys to fight for your rights at all levels of the legal system.

We give you the structure, but you – our amazing members – you are standing up for yourselves and fighting for what’s right. And don’t you think that’s a cause to celebrate?

On August 26, we are hosting RHAWA’s Membership Appreciation Day. You have worked so hard, and we want you to know how much it means to us. We’ll be heading down to the Seattle Farm located in Rainier Valley in south Seattle, for a day filled with friends, family, and most of all – FUN. This family-friendly event will be packed with games, food, pony rides, horses, and so much more. Festivities will kick off at 11 am and wind down around 2 pm. Come down to relax, have some delicious fire-roasted foods, and play in the sunshine.

Please make sure everyone’s wearing closed-toe shoes, and leave the pups at home, because we’ll all be ranchers by the end of the day! Feed carrots to horses and learn to lasso with the farm hands; there will be loads to do at our Membership Appreciation Picnic on Saturday, August 26. The Seattle Farm is located at 9761 Beacon Ave S, across the street from the Kubota Gardens, just off I-5; look out for our fun RHAWA signs to help guide you.

There will be ample parking and we just can’t wait to see you there!
