Dementia Support Northwest is a wellness and fitness service organization serving Whatcom County, based in Bellingham, Washington. Established in 1983 (formerly the Alzheimer Society of Washington), the group operates as a community-driven entity formed by volunteers, families, and friends of individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementia-related illnesses. Its work focuses on educating the public about dementia-related diseases and providing ongoing education and support through multiple programs, including care partner groups, memory support groups for those newly diagnosed or with early memory loss, and groups for adult children caring for a parent with dementia, as well as a partnership-driven initiative that assists with locating wanderers through the Find Me Safe Network with local law enforcement. The organization aims to alleviate the practical and emotional challenges faced by caregivers and those impacted by dementia by offering structured, ongoing community resources within the region.
