Seattle, located in Washington State, is famous for its lush greenery, rainy weather, and booming tech industry. Home to giants like Amazon, Microsoft, and Starbucks, Seattle attracts people from all over the world—including a growing and vibrant Iranian community.
Iranians in Seattle are highly educated and active in fields such as technology, medicine, education, entrepreneurship, and the arts. The community often gathers for cultural events like Nowruz festivals, Persian concerts, and art exhibitions. There are also Persian restaurants, markets, and community organizations that help newcomers feel at home.
Fun fact: Seattle’s beautiful landscape—surrounded by water, mountains, and forests—often reminds Iranian immigrants of the natural beauty of northern Iran, especially cities like Rasht or Mazandaran.
With its friendly atmosphere, strong economy, and opportunities for both career and community growth, Seattle is an increasingly attractive city for Iranians who seek both professional success and a high quality of life.
