Utopia is in Seattle!

I think I've finally found Utopia! Today was a great day of discovery and enlightenment.  We went into Seattle this morning to spend the day checking out senior housing communities.  While meeting with administrators at the Ida Culver House, I learned about a Senior Care Providers Network that has been working on this issue for over 10 years.  Check out their logo and web site (below).
Imagine you are an LGBT senior.  Think about how it would feel to walk into a senior housing community with that logo on the front door:
If you go to Quail Park, a beautiful new independent and assisted living community in Lynnwood, Washington (just north of Seattle) you will see this sign posted proudly as you walk to the main entry.  I spent about an hour at Quail Park, talking with the Community Relations Director.  This place walks the talk.  I'll have more details soon about the senior care network in Seattle, but for now, I'm just thrilled to know that somebody out there is doing more than talking about this!
