American Legion Post 127
Deep roots. A century of service. Still going.
Our local post has deep roots in the community. In the early days, members met at various locations around town. Thanks to the generosity of Frank Elliot—our third Post Commander—the post leased land in Snohomish County for just one dollar per year. On Armistice Day in 1928, we broke ground on our first permanent home on that very property.
Nearly 40 years later, in 1967, the post sold its original 28-acre property and began a new chapter. Later that year, Harry Kveum sold a portion of his land in Bothell, Washington to the post. Ground was broken for our current home on September 27, 1968.
Today, we carry that legacy forward. We serve veterans and their families, host community events, and work tirelessly to uphold the values of patriotism, duty, and service. Whether you're a veteran, family member, or supporter—there's a place for you here.
Chartered by Congress in 1919, The American Legion stands as America's largest wartime veterans service organization—championing justice, freedom, democracy, and loyalty. With over 1.8 million members nationwide, our mission is to mentor youth, support veterans and families, strengthen communities, and nurture patriotism through action.
