Terry - Program Coordinator

Welcome to the Ballard NW Senior Center. I am Terry Honodel, the Program Coordinator. I enjoy working at the Center and being involved with the many seniors who come here. Our desire is to provide programming for seniors to meet their needs and interests. We want to see our programs grow and if you are an individual who would like to get involved, volunteer, or lead a group or class, or have hobbies and skills you would like to share with others – please contact me. I grew up in the Seattle area, and returned to Seattle in 2009 after being away for 32 years.  I can’t think of a better place to live! We hope that seniors will come, get involved and enjoy what the Center has to offer!

Kristina - Administrative Assistant

Welcome to the best Senior Center in town! My name is Kristina Webberley. I first got introduced to the Ballard NW Senior Center through my volunteer work, and when I found out that there was an opening for an Administrative Assistant I applied immediately. A few years ago, I graduated from Western Washington University with a BA in Accounting, and since then I have worked as an Administrative Assistant for two companies. I have only been a member of the staff here for a little while, but I already love working here. My co-workers, the volunteers, and the wonderful people, who attend the Center, make every work day fantastic. I currently and have always lived in Ballard, and I am proud that my career is helping to make it a better place to live.
