Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs

The Seattle Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs was established to facilitate the successful integration of immigrants and refugees into Seattle’s civic, economic, and cultural life; to celebrate diverse cultures of immigrants and refugees and their contributions to Seattle; to advocate on behalf of immigrants and refugees and to promote a citywide culture that understands and values the benefits that all members of our society receive when immigrant and refugee communities are successfully integrated into our civic, economic and cultural life.
