Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Seattle

On behalf of the Consulate General, I extend a warm welcome to members of our Korean community, overseas Koreans residing in the Pacific Northwest, and all visitors to our website.

Our jurisdiction encompasses five U.S. states—Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and Alaska. As a key hub of the ROK-U.S. Alliance, this region drives dynamic and substantive cooperation across politics, the economy, society, and culture. As our bilateral partnership evolves on the global stage, the strategic importance of the Pacific Northwest continues to grow.

Renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and abundant resources, the region boasts a powerful industrial ecosystem spanning traditional manufacturing to cutting-edge technologies. Home to world-class universities and global tech leaders, the Pacific Northwest is uniquely positioned to cultivate talent for the AI era, serving as a model of shared prosperity between our two nations.

Our vibrant Korean community remains a cornerstone of the ROK-U.S. Alliance and a driving force behind its enduring success. The vitality, achievements, and growth of our Korean community are among our greatest assets in deepening ties between the Republic of Korea and the Pacific Northwest.

The Consulate General in Seattle is dedicated to advancing the interests of Korean nationals and the Korean community across trade, economic affairs, culture, and education. We also remain steadfast in facilitating deeper, mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation between the Republic of Korea and the United States.

As Consul General, I am committed to listening with an open mind, engaging with sincerity, and delivering meaningful and tangible outcomes for Korean nationals and the Korean community through dedicated diplomatic efforts.

I wish you and your families good health, happiness, and continued success.

Thank you.
