To the Pacific NW first & the Emerald City, #Seattle where 11.3% claim Irish as their primary heritage. @CityofSeattle & @galwaycity are sister cities since 1986 & the current Mayor Seattle @MayorJenny has a strong Irish heritage, primarily from #Mayo (pic below!)
John Keane (second in from the left below) is our Honorary Consul in Western US & he has been at the heart of our community in Seattle for decades. He is ably supported by the irrepressible Noreen McCormack (beside John) & they're quite a duo in promoting Ireland-Seattle links!
There is a vibrant community of #GlobalIrish groups & organisations in Seattle - @IrishSeattle, @IrishNetworkSea & @SeattleGaels to name just a few. Together they organise a remarkable programme of heritage, business, sporting & cultural events in Seattle throughout the year.
One of my favourite events is the quarterly seniors lunch at which up to 150 senior Irish, Irish Americans, their friends & family gather together. This is organised by @IRISHSEATTLE & their volunteer staff in the pic below! this is important work supported by @GlobalIrish
If you live in #Seattle and are Irish, of Irish descent, have studied or lived (or indeed loved) in Ireland or just have an affinity to Ireland I would strongly encourage you to contact one of the many organisations there - they are good people!
