Local Immigrant Population*

50000

*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.

Languages

Vietnamese. About half of Vietnamese also speak English.
Find Vietnamese culture in WA state

Vietnam has begun appointing honorary consuls in various cities across the world, none yet in Seattle.  You can taste a bit of Vietnam all over Seattle, starting with the food.  It’s not a stretch to say that Seattle would stop functioning normally without the significant contribution made here every day by its large, local Vietnamese community!
