I'll continue the senior ORCA card discussion here.
When you order a "Regional Reduced Fare Permit (RRFP)" from King County Metro, you in fact get a reduced fare ORCA card.

The card can be loaded with value or passes like any ORCA card, and has the same tap and go fare payment convenience as a regular ORCA, but with the reduced fares. The RRFP ORCA also serves as the show and pay permit for purchase of reduced fares from non-ORCA agencies.
A discussion of the senior ORCA can be found HERE.
To repeat and add to my post in the Announcing PCRF topic:
The reduced fare ORCA can be purchased by mail. You can download an application HERE. If you are requesting the 65 and over "permanent" card, you just have to fill out the "Front" of the application, check "I am 65 years of age or older," and sign. Attach a copy of proof of age (drivers license, etc.) and a check for $3 made out to "King County Metro," and mail to:
ORCA Regional Mail Center
MS TR-0102 <== note change in mail code from prior post
201 S. Jackson St.
Seattle, WA 98104
Your ORCA will be mailed to you. The card will be pre-registered allowing on-line management, including loading of value and passes.
