Seattle is filled with excitement as the city celebrates the Seahawks’ Super Bowl victory and prepares for Lunar New Year, which begins on February 17, marking the start of the Year of the Horse. This season invites communities to reflect on their roots and connections. The Horse symbolizes momentum and resilience, qualities that are evident in the daily lives of community members supported by the Asian Counseling and Referral Service (ACRS). Parents are learning to navigate new systems, elders are enjoying comforting meals, and neighbors are providing support during challenging times. Young people are sharing their stories, impacting legislation and inspiring change. ACRS staff are dedicated to ensuring every individual feels respected and cared for, regardless of their circumstances. This year calls for continued momentum as immigrant and refugee families face uncertainty. ACRS encourages everyone—staff, partners, and community members—to support one another, share meals, and communicate their needs. Together, the community will move forward, embracing the spirit of the new year. Kendee Yamaguchi, ACRS CEO, emphasizes the importance of unity and collective action for a stronger future.
