Feet First helps people create more walkable communities. Across Washington, pedestrian transportation is broken and lacking. Every other mode of transportation has an organized industry and a professional lobby, yet pedestrians are lacking a basic right to safe, healthy mobility. We're the group that puts feet first.

Feet First is a hub of creative, passionate professionals who can help your community in big ways. Find out how to take action or learn about pedestrian advocacy and design right here at feetfirst.info. Our web site offers resources and opportunities for you to become more involved and more knowledgeable.

Feet First is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving Washington State, with a focus on the Puget Sound Region. We were founded in 1996 to promote the rights and interests of pedestrians and to encourage walking. Our program areas include Community, Advocacy, Research, Education and Membership.

Feet First is known around the region for its long history of innovation and volunteer activities. A grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation enabled us to hire our first staff person at the end of 2003. We now serve communities statewide and are regularly consulted and invited to participate in national initiatives and research programs.

Our organization is a member of the national America Walks coalition.
