The Washington State Department of Veterans Affairs is proud to announce the appointment of Matthew Lysobey as the Administrator of the Washington Veterans Home.  Matthew assumes responsibility of the Veterans Home on March 20 and relieved Dan Murray, who served as Interim Administrator and will return to his position as the WDVA Chief of Homes Operations.
