Mayor Bruce Harrell

One Seattle means a commitment to welcoming new residents, especially those families fleeing poverty, deprivation, and war. I am proud that we will continue providing them with the support needed to help integrate into the civic and cultural life of our wonderful city. The story of my own family is a testament to this – including my grandparents who immigrated from Japan and opened a small business in pursuit of a better life. I’m proud that Seattle has long been a member of Cities & Counties for Citizenship. And I am thrilled to be the newest municipal member of CC4C’s Executive Committee, as we deepen our commitment to ensuring that vulnerable immigrants and refugees get the help they need today to become tomorrow’s newest American citizens
