Texas 501(c)(3) (EIN 86-1336741) brings open-data veteran resource discovery to Washington's 530,000+ veterans across Seattle, Tacoma, Spokane, and 12 top cities.
THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS — May 4, 2026 —Wounded Warriors (Texas 501(c)(3), EIN 86-1336741, IRS ruling year 2021) today announced that its open-data veteran-resource directory now indexes 1,378 verified veteran-serving resources across Washington State.
Washington hosts approximately 530,000 U.S. military veterans concentrated near Joint Base Lewis-McChord (the largest military installation on the West Coast), Naval Base Kitsap, Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, and Fairchild Air Force Base. The state directory at warriorsfund.org/state/washington surfaces VA Puget Sound Health Care System (Seattle + American Lake in Tacoma), VA Spokane, plus Community-Based Outpatient Clinics, every Vet Center, all Washington County Veterans Programs, and Washington Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) state veterans homes (Orting, Port Orchard, Spokane, Walla Walla).
Washington-specific benefits indexed include the WDVA Veterans Estate Management Program (free conservatorship help), Washington State Property Tax Exemption for veterans 61+ with service-connected disability, and the Washington National Guard Educational Grant Program. Topic-specific subpages cover Mental Health, Housing, Employment (high relevance given JBLM separation pipeline), Healthcare, Claims Help, Crisis Support.
Cross-links to neighboring states (Idaho, Oregon) help cross-border veterans, particularly important for eastern Washington veterans served by Spokane VA. Washington donors should search EIN 86-1336741 in DAF portals. Wounded Warriors holds the Candid 2026 Platinum Seal.
Joint Base Lewis-McChord separates thousands of soldiers each year into Pacific Northwest civilian life. Many stay near base. The challenge is that JBLM is in Pierce County but many separating soldiers move to King, Snohomish, or Thurston County for housing — and the county-level resource networks differ. Indexing all of them means a Tacoma-area separation can find the right county-level resource regardless of where they end up living.Dillon Parkes, Founder & Executive Director, Wounded Warriors
