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.
Guatemalans are one of the largest single groups of immigrants in the US. Seattle is not one of their top destinations, but there are still thousands of Guatemalans living in the region. The stories of many Guatemalans in America are rooted in hardship and family ties between the two countries. Want to learn more about Guatemala? Befriending a Guatemalan is not a stretch. They are known for their generosity and friendliness. You will surely come to appreciate the richness of the culture simply by googling for a Guatemalan restaurants nearby. Try the tostadas, enchiladas, rellenitos, or champurradas. You can’t miss!
There seems to be a Guatemalan Consul General in Seattle, but it is difficult to gauge the effectiveness of services provided to local Chapins and Chapinas.
