The Puget Sound Chapter of the Jane Austen Society of North America (JASNA) is located in the Puget Sound region of Western Washington.

We are a very active chapter, and meet six times each year at various locations to hear a program, to engage in polite conversation and partake of afternoon tea. Naturally, the subject of the meetings is always related to the life, times and works of Jane Austen.
