Who Are We?"Citizens in Support of the Sea Services"The Lake Washington Council is a local Council of a national, over 100 year old, non-profit organization of citizens providing meaningful support of the men and women of our sea services (Navy, Coast Guard, Marine, and U.S. Flag Merchant Marine) and to various Youth Organizations in our area. Our Council has as a primary service area the Eastside of Greater Seattle (including Bellevue, Bothell, Issaquah, Kirkland, Mercer Island, North Bend, Renton, Redmond, Sammamish) and individuals and organizations in support of our adopted units and the USS Liberty. We were founded coincidental to the millennium on 1 January 2001. Shortly thereafter, we helped install the US Navy Memorial Foundation's Homecoming Statue to Kirkland. We have adopted: o Naval Coastal Warfare Squadron-33, formerly HDU-113, activated shortly after 9/11 (a joint U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard Reserve Unit) o The U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy, our country's newest icebreaker and arctic research vessel o The U. S. Coast Guard Integrated Support Command - Seattle o The U. S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln o The U.S. Navy submarine USS Jimmy Carter and related Undersea R&D Detachment o The NOAA Ship Rainier o The U.S. Coast Guard Response Boat - Medium Project We also currently sponsor: o The NJROTC Unit at Liberty High School in the Issaquah School District o The University of Washington Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps o The USN Sea Cadet Corps, Everett. We put real meaning into the statement "We Support our Troops." For more information, please visit our web site at www.lakewashnlus.org or contact us at info@lakewashnlus.org
