Independent Living (IL) is based on the philosophy that people with disabilities have skills, determination, specific abilities, creativity and a passion for life. However, many are unable to participate fully due to attitudinal or/and physical barriers in society. IL is a “way of living” for people with disabilities who live in our communities where many barriers remain. Independent Living becomes a reality for people with disabilities through the support offered by Independent Living Centers (ILCs) throughout the State of Washington. One of the six ILCs is disAbilitiy Resource Connection (dRC). Our website provides you useful information to live your life as you would define Independent Living. Visit our ABOUT page to learn more about dRC.

For over 4 years, dRC has worked with consumers to promote their independence in the community. dRC's service area includes the three counties of Snohomish, Skagit, and Whatcom. Our Center is set up to empower people with disabilities through informed choice, individual control over decision-making, independent living skills training, and peer support. Like other Centers in the State of Washington, dRC is a 501c3 non-profit organization, disability-led, cross-disability focused, community-based, and committed to full inclusion/integration of all Washingtonians, regardless of disability. Our by-laws require that a majority of staff and board members must be held by people with disabilities.

Please take a few minutes to surf our site and become familiar with the valuable information you can find here. We are here to assist you and welcome your input regarding this site and the services we provide. Our goal is to connect you to resources, skills, and the barrier-free path toward independent living.
