The mission of the American Lung Association® in Washington is to save lives by preventing lung disease and improving lung health for the people of Washington state through research, education, community service and advocacy.

The American Lung Association® in Washington was founded in 1906 as part of the first nationwide corps of volunteers organized to combat a single disease: tuberculosis. Today we're working to make the world a better place to breathe.

Our goals include reducing tobacco use, especially among young people; preventing and controlling air pollution; and providing education and funding research to make life more comfortable for people with asthma or other lung disease.

The Lung Association is a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization that relies on donations of time, talent, and treasure from individuals like you. There are a number of ways you can join the fight against lung disease.
