Find Pakistani culture in WA state

Pakistanis have been coming to America for decades.  They have settled here and continued to bring family members to the US.  The tech boom combined with conditions back home have accelerated the influx of mostly educated Pakistanis into the region.  Although there are significantly more Indians than Pakistanis in the Pacific NW, you can find Pakistani food, places of worship, and a tight community here.
