Flagstaff is a city in and the county seat of Coconino County in northern Arizona, in the southwestern United States. In 2015, the city's estimated population was 70,320. Flagstaff's combined metropolitan area has an estimated population of 139,097. The city is named after a ponderosa pine flagpole made by a scouting party from Boston (known as the "Second Boston Party") to celebrate the United States Centennial on July 4, 1876.
Flagstaff lies near the southwestern edge of the Colorado Plateau, along the western side of the largest contiguous ponderosa pine forest in the continental United States. Flagstaff is located adjacent to Mount Elden, just south of the San Francisco Peaks, the highest mountain range in the state of Arizona. Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona at 12,633 feet (3,851 m), is located about 10 miles (16 km) north of Flagstaff in Kachina Peaks Wilderness.
Flagstaff's early economy was based on the lumber, railroad, and ranching industries. Today, the city remains an important distribution hub for companies such as Nestlé Purina PetCare, and is home to Lowell Observatory, The U.S. Naval Observatory, the United States Geological Survey Flagstaff Station, and Northern Arizona University. Flagstaff has a strong tourism sector, due to its proximity to Grand Canyon National Park, Oak Creek Canyon, the Arizona Snowbowl, Meteor Crater, and historic Route 66. The city is also a center for medical device manufacturing, since Flagstaff is home to W. L. Gore and Associates.

Good people
It seems like there is an active lifestyle for seniors in Flagstaff, Arizona.
Flagstaff is a mountain college town with several senior living centers, it is a very exercise conscious community with several hiking and biking trails, and opportunities for just about any age range, including fishing, theater, the symphony, large movie theater and plenty of shopping.
I have been working in the medical field for over 25 years. Most recently in the Oncology Department for NAH in Cottonwood, AZ. I currently reside in Flagstaff. Working with an age group mostly 60-90. I am a licensed yoga therapist as well. Please contact me with further questions and need for resume.

I have been a tour guide local here at the Grand Canyon and driver of all kinds. Looking to semi retire. Looking at jobs that involve helping people like Companionship or Driving. Still have my Class A CDL with Passenger endorsement. Hours like a week on and week off; cover other people when they go on vacation; part time working 2 days a week to cover another persons days off would be a good fit. Born in the 60's I hardly think of my self as "older" but when I looks at people in their 20s and think of them as kids I guess I am :-)
