Local Immigrant Population*
*Immigrant Population is an estimated sum of the number of naturalized Americans from this country and citizens from this country living in the Seattle Metro Area under any sort of immigration visa. It does not count the American offspring or descendants of immigrants from this country, which can go back many generations and account for large numbers of people. 1,000 is the default number when we don’t have a better count.
Seattle is home to a vibrant francophone community, ranging from newcomers to multigenerational families who have contributed to the city’s development. If you’re looking to connect with the French community, enjoy French products, or speak French in Seattle, you’ll find it easier than ever.
Connect with the Seattle-Nantes Sister City Association to celebrate French holidays, travel to France with a sister city delegation, enjoy French-themed events, and support scholarships for students of the French language.
French schools in the area help preserve language and traditions, while organizations like the PNW French Chamber of Commerce host events that bring the community together.
Seattle is also home to the 5th largest Alliance Française de Seattle in the U.S., offering French classes and cultural programs online and in person at the Good Shepherd Center in Wallingford.
For an authentic taste of France, visit one of Seattle’s French restaurants, such as Maximilien in the Market, a romantic French restaurant located in the heart of Pike Place Market, offering panoramic views of Puget Sound and the Olympic Mountains. Another notable French dining establishment is Café Campagne, a long-time staple of the city’s French dining scene. These establishments provide a true culinary connection to France in Seattle.
