Welcome to the website for Washington Appleseed,
the Washington State chapter of the national Appleseed network.

Nationally, Appleseed is a non-partisan, non-profit organization made up of a network of public interest law centers working to identify and address injustices in their communities. We work to build a just society through education, legal advocacy, community activism and policy expertise, addressing root causes and producing practical solutions. As one of the nation's largest legal pro bono networks, Appleseed Centers work both independently and collectively, bringing their own experiences to create local solutions that are nationally relevant. We connect the top private practice lawyers, corporate counsel, law schools, civic leaders and other professionals to tackle problems locally, at their root cause.
