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.
Russian migration to the US has been particularly high since the 1990’s and the Pacific NW has become home to many. Russians have moved to neighborhoods and towns throughout the region, including smattered enclaves of compatriots throughout Eastern Washington. If you work in tech, then you probably already know some Russians in Seattle. It will not take you much digging to have a taste of Russian culture here, everything from Russian spas to Russian celebrations and places of worship. Thanks to some enterprising local Russians, everyone in Seattle loves a delicious piroshky from time to time – stop by Piroshky Piroshky in Pike Place Market for proof and then walk up to the beautiful Russian Community Center of Seattle on Capitol Hill (venue available for rent).
