Seattle's 2023 White Cane Day
A Celebration of Opportunity, Equality, and Independence!
White Cane Day took place in Seattle on Saturday, October 14, 2023, celebrating the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired and the important tool of independence, the white cane.
The White Cane Day Walk began at the Pike Place Market and concluded with a reception at the Washington Talking Book & Braille Library (WTBBL). WTBBL, a program of the Office of the Secretary of State, provides access to information and reading materials for people who cannot read standard print.
Representatives from multiple organizations attended, including the Department of Services for the Blind, Northwest Association of Blind Athletes, Washington Council of the Blind, Guide Dogs for the Blind, and more!
Hopelink's Find a Ride program appreciates our advisors, including Jeff Abrams, who invited Laura Loe, Program Manager, to participate in White Cane Day.
And, thanks to Find a Ride Advisor, Dorene Cornwell, who provided an impromptu explanation about Find a Ride's trip planner to several attendees.
