Local Immigrant Population*

6000

*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 Thai culture in WA state

Around the turn of the century, the Kingdom of Thailand embarked on a mission to spearhead the opening of 3,000 Thai restaurants across America, which helped bring more Thais to the area. Much of local Thai community social activities are centered around the temples and language. Additional research is required here.
