Welcome to the “Mighty Eleventh” District!
The Eleventh District consists of all of King County, Washington, outside of the corporate city limits of Seattle and Vashon Island.
Congress chartered The American Legion in 1919 as a veterans service organization. The American Legion is the nation’s largest wartime veterans’ service organization with a membership of 2.4 million men and women. All veterans of honorable service during a wartime period, and those currently serving on active duty, are eligible to belong to The American Legion.
Our members are dedicated to Service to the Community, State and Nation. We have four main objectives:
The American Legion Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation pillar is composed of programs, services and advocacy efforts that improve the lives of those who served, along with their families and dependents, after discharge from the military.
The Legion’s positions on national defense, homeland security, border control and military support are all part of the long-held Legion value that the key to peace and world stability is a strong, well-resourced defense.
The Legion is the nation’s foremost authority on U.S. flag display, education and protection. The Legion celebrates Americanism through wholesome activities for young people, voter registration drives, citizenship programs, educational opportunities and patriotic observances.
The American Legion’s Children & Youth pillar is guided by three main objectives: strengthen the family unit, support organizations that help children in need and provide communities with well-rounded programs to provide hope and opportunity for young people facing difficult challenges.
