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.
There are surely more descendants of Hungarians than actual Hungarian immigrants in the Greater Seattle region. Hungarians were attracted to America and the PNW as early as the 1870’s. Hungarian influence may not be readily apparent because of assimilation, but the culture and traditions continue in many families with at least one Hungarian social/cultural organization. The tech boom has helped to establish new ties with Hungarian businesses and engineers.
Seattle is sister cities with the beautiful and historic town of Pécs in Hungary.
