"The Family First Community Center is much needed in the Cascade/Benson Hill area as a community gathering place for health and recreational opportunities. This project resulted from a comprehensive and creative approach and is another example of our community coming together for the common good. I look forward to the impact the center will have on the community.”
Armondo Pavone, Mayor of Renton
“The day I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I fell in love with an area that has been my home for many years now. The people of Renton are passionate, involved and diverse in culture. My childhood taught me the value of cultivating diversity and community. The Family First Community Center will do just that. A center where the health and wellness of families will be the priority. It’s a grand vision met with a relentless passion to serve the community. And I am so grateful to once again be a part of something great happening in our community of Renton.”
Doug Baldwin, former Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
“Providing students and families with additional opportunities to learn and grow, in an environment that improves their quality of life, is important. We’re thankful for Doug Baldwin’s commitment, and excited to partner with him and the City of Renton to continue to improve the lives of our families and community through the Family First Community Center.”
Dr. Damien Pattenaude, Superintendent, Renton School District
“Every once in a while an exemplary opportunity meets an ideal financial resource that simply cannot be ignored ... the match between the FFCC vision and the Foundation was undeniable ... We can’t wait for the opportunity to open the doors and welcome kids, families and the community to a life-changing place for many years to come.”
First Financial Northwest Foundation

We look forward to continuing to work collaboratively with our partners and the community to develop programs that will bring quality health care services along with recreational and educational opportunities to young people and families in the area. At HealthPoint, we understand that being healthy takes more than just clinical care. It is about creating connections to community and opportunities for success for all.”
