Seattle Center Foundation 

Description

Seattle Center Foundation was founded in 1977 and  plays a key role in providing the resources needed to maintain and expand Seattle Center programs that benefit of King County residents and visitors. Nearly 500 public program activities and over 5,000 shows and events annually attract over 12 million visits from the city and county (50%), state residents (24%) and tourists from around the world (26%).

Mission Statement
Our mission is to actively inspire broad community engagement to support and promote the sustainability and growth of the arts and the educational and cultural programs hosted at Seattle Center. Seattle Center is a vibrant park, cultural hub and civic gathering place and a rare world’s fair campus that survived relatively intact.

Seattle Center offers year-long FREE public events that highlight the distinct cultures of our region’s ethnic communities, as well as educational programs and exhibits enjoyed by all ages. These programs and festivals build community, link diverse cultures across neighborhoods and generations, and create understanding and appreciation of the various cultures that enrich our community.
