Ann Washington Chapter, NSDAR

Participating in parades is a part of the fun in the chapter. How special is this 1930 Model A Ford with its rumble seat?

The chapter's short, but meaningful Wreaths Across America Ceremony will be held 9 a.m. Dec. 13, 2025 at Hawthorne Cemetery, Mount Vernon. The public is encouraged to sponsor wreaths and/or attend. Wreaths also placed at Mount Vernon Cemetery. Each wreath sponsored through Ann Washington has a portion benefiting local veterans.

Chapter officers and committee chairs stopped long enough at a state meeting to pose for a photo.

Having fun at a chapter summer social

Ann Washington is honored that Washington State's Volunteer Genealogist of the Year Shelley Johnson is the chapter's registrar who tirelessly researches Patriot ancestors for prospective members.

We collect and properly retire flags, and often replace them at no charge.

We make learning fun. For example: A. "Jeopardy-style Categories on this board." Q. "What are Historic Preservation, Patriotism, Education, DAR's core missions?"

We officially meet from September through May but have a plethora of activities and service projects all year long. Ours is a growing and dynamic chapter established in 1921, named in honor of George Washington's great-grandmother. Our active members hail from all over the Northwest including Anacortes, Burlington, La Conner, Sedro Woolley, as far south as Covington, as far west as Oak Harbor, and as far north as British Columbia We also have members from out of state and also out of the area within our state.

Our active members are in their 20s to their late 90s, and every decade in between as there is something each age group enjoys.  They come from a variety of backgrounds and interests having grown up all over the U.S. and some from all over the world as military families. They are passionate about community service, preserving history, educating youth, and honoring and supporting those who have served and are serving our nation. 

Our non-mandatory meetings are fast-paced and fun as well as educational. ​
