Know a senior who excels at community service?

AARP Washington is seeking nominations for the 2026 Andrus Award for Community Service. The award honors Washingtonians age 50 and older whose volunteer work has made a lasting difference in their communities. 

AARP Washington will consider how each nominee’s work has helped others, whether it reflects the organization’s mission and whether it could inspire more people to volunteer. 

Nominees must be 50 or older. Their service must be unpaid, although small stipends to cover costs are allowed. The work must fit AARP’s mission, inspire others and not be related to partisan political service.

Couples or partners who volunteer together may be nominated, but teams are not eligible. Previous Andrus Award recipients are not eligible, and the award is not given posthumously.

The recipient will be announced in early fall and will be honored at a celebration. The winner may choose an eligible nonprofit to receive a $2,000 donation from AARP.

To submit a nomination go to: aarp.org/andrusaward or email [email protected] to request a nomination form. Nominations must be submitted by Sept. 15

Adult day care facility planned for title company building

A title company building in the Vista Field area of Kennewick is set to turn into an adult day care facility. 

According to plans filed with the city of Kennewick, 6921 Crosswind Blvd. will undergo a change of use to become an adult day care facility. The two-story, 10,266-square-foot building was purchased by 6921 Crosswind Acquisition II LLC for $2.6 million in April. 

6921 Crosswind Acquisition II LLC is a company registered in Delaware. It was first incorporated in March 2026 under a registered agent. 

The distinctive two-story red-brick building has four white columns and a classical-style entrance.

The building was previously owned by Jay Carey and Hortensia Castillo-Carey, and Frontier Title & Escrow Company operated there. 

According to a social media post from the Tri-City Association of Realtors, Frontier Title & Escrow Company has moved to 8121 W. Grandridge Blvd., Suite B, Kennewick.
