For over 40 years, IACS has supported seniors, youth, women and families across Washington, so everyone finds a place where they truly belong.
CONNECT. EMPOWER. SERVE. Indian American Community Services (IACS) formerly known as India Association of Western Washington (IAWW), is the longest-serving Indian community based organization in the Pacific Northwest. IACS works to connect and empower the Asian-Indian community through programs, services, and advocacy for people of all ages and all life stages. As a result, IACS is able to involve its full community in ways that incorporate and respect cultural traditions and values.
We help seniors, youth, women and families with the often difficult and complex circumstances that affect their daily lives, and help them build connections with others in a safe and welcoming environment.

In 2022, IACS following several listening sessions with the community for over two years, purchased a 22,000 sq ft building located in Kent, WA, of which 12,000 sq ft is leased to a third party, and 10,000sqft will be renovated to a community center hub for all ages and races. The project will be broken into two phases. The purchase was funded 100% from the IACS Community Capital Campaign funded by the community stakeholders.
