Local Immigrant Population*

2000

*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.

Find Saudi culture in WA state

Census figures show that several thousand Saudis live in the region, but little is published on the makeup of this local community.  To connect with Saudi culture in Seattle, start with university student associations because many Saudis send their children here to study.  There are also local mosques where you can learn about Saudi Arabia without actually flying there, which is generally not permitted for non-muslims without business in the Kingdom.  If you work in tech, aviation, or high finance, then you may also come into contact with a local Saudi.
