This Women’s History Month, we honor women whose leadership strengthened families across Washington State. 💚
✨ Dorothy Hollingsworth helped bring Head Start to our region, expanding early learning opportunities for children growing up in poverty.
✨ Ruth Woo championed housing equity and economic opportunity for working families.
✨ Dr. Maxine Mimms expanded access to higher education for underserved and first-generation students, opening pathways toward long-term economic mobility.
Because of leaders like these, families across King County are stronger today. At Bellevue LifeSpring, we carry that legacy forward by standing alongside children and families working toward stability and self-sufficiency.
