About LifeWire:
LifeWire delivers survivor-driven, trauma-informed services to domestic violence survivors and their children and works toward the prevention of domestic violence in our communities. Located in Bellevue, Washington (near Seattle), LifeWire opened its doors in 1982 as Eastside Domestic Violence Program. In 2012, we became LifeWire to better reflect our innovative and broad range of services. Today, we are a full-service agency, a nationally recognized leader, and the largest comprehensive domestic violence service provider in the State of Washington.
We serve survivors and their children with our emergency shelter and transitional housing programs, advocacy, safety assessment and planning, domestic violence housing first programs, support groups and mental health counseling. We explore better ways to support survivors through innovative strategies and partnerships. We have a staff team of 40, a board team of 17, and a 2023 operating budget of $5.8 million.

Our Commitment to Racial Equity:

LifeWire’s Vision / Mission:
LifeWire supports survivors of domestic violence on their path towards safety, stability, and healing. We work to end domestic violence by changing community beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors.

About LifeWire:
Everyone deserves to live free from fear and violence. From a safe home, each of us can work, learn, play, and fully contribute to our community.

And we work with youth and young adults to develop healthy foundations early in life, preventing future violence.
