Local Immigrant Population*

4000

*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:

Iraqi Arabic and Kurdish. English is a common second language in town and among the educated.

Notes:

Iraqis are relatively new arrivals to the Pacific NW for obvious reasons.  It is very far from here, physically and culturally.  The circumstances around an Iraqi’s journey here to this new, foreign country are stories worth asking and learning about.

 

The customs and traditions of people from Iraq go back millennia, the cradle of civilization.  Seattle benefits from the rich culture that the Iraqi community brings to this part of the world.  If you would like to meet an Iraqi in Seattle or to taste Iraqi cuisine, or to learn about Iraqi fashion and music, then you can and should.  It will save you minimum of 20 hours flight time.  Wa alaikum salaam!

Why does Seattle need this directory?

1

Covid has ruined the travel plans of so many people.  Maybe you are one of them.  Family trips, honeymoons, first time overseas trips postponed and cancelled.  Please explore this directory to create your own Round-the-World experience without traveling far from Seattle.  

2

Believe it or not, in 2022, New York City passed a law granting non-US citizens the right to vote in certain local and municipal elections.  Will Seattle follow NYC?  Time will tell.  If that comes to be, then this directory should be indispensable.  Let us know what you think.
