Veterans and their families at one of the forums held last month by Rep. Rick Larsen
A better deal for our veterans starts with listening – and that is exactly what I had a chance to do last month.
I held six Veterans Forums in San Juan, Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom and Island counties. These forums were opportunities for veterans to receive updates on legislation affecting them and get answers to questions about reforms at the Department of Veterans Affairs, health care, job training and housing.

A big thank you to veterans across the 2nd District who showed up to share ideas, concerns, and experiences directly with me. Your feedback that will strengthen my fight in Congress to get veterans a better deal.
Since 2015 my office has helped 326 veterans resolve problems with federal agencies and receive over $260,000 in benefits.
If you are a veteran and you are having trouble with a federal agency, my office may be able to help. Please contact my Everett office if you need assistance at (425) 252-3188.
