A press release from the Washington State Employment Security Department says the event is more than just a job fair — it’s a community effort to uplift those who have served and to give them a chance to be successful.

CREATING CONNECTIONS

Veterans can expect to access a range of services, including veteran resources and benefits, medical screenings, housing support, free haircuts, and a complimentary lunch. The event is designed to create connections between employers and veterans.
Organizers hope to establish an annual tradition, bringing together community members, employers, and veteran service providers.
