Community Involvement
Rooted in the Community We Serve.
Every member of the WAFS team is involved beyond the office. We invest in the organizations and communities that make the Pacific Northwest thrive.
At WAFS, community service is not a marketing initiative. It is how our people live. Each of our eight professionals dedicates meaningful time to organizations they believe in — from nonprofit boards to youth mentorship programs to professional education.

A Culture of Contribution
From the founding of WAFS, Maggie Chen and Robert Kimura believed that a thriving firm had an obligation to contribute to a thriving community. That conviction has shaped every hiring decision we've made. The people on our team don't just work in Seattle — they are invested in Seattle.
