Looking for support group in Washington State

Hello all
I am looking for a support group in the Olympia Washington area or close by. Seattle is just to far away. I have been on a gluten free diet for about 18 years, way back when no one knew what the heck it was and couldnt find anything in the store to eat.
Any one out there in this area? I have done a search in a couple places to find nothing.
Thanks

Laurie - I live in Federal Way, and the closest one to me is in Bellevue. The Gluten Intollerance Group is headquartered in Seattle. If you send them an email at info@gluten.net, they may be able to hook you up with a support group that is in your area.

Hope this helps!

thanks everyone for the help
the info@gluten.net email address has seemed to help so far. I sent a message and I received a reply telling me that to there knowledge there is no group in Olympia but one within 25 miles from me, so going to check that one out. She is trying to get me to start one here, so maybe I will.
thanks again
