Spanish in Seattle
The Seattle area has about 280,000 Spanish speakers, and many live south of the city: Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila, Kent and Auburn have far higher shares than Seattle itself, and South Park and White Center are long-established centers of Latino life (Census ACS 2024). Mexicans are almost two thirds of the region's Hispanic residents.
Immigration cases are heard at the Seattle Immigration Court on Second Avenue, and detained cases at the Tacoma court inside the Northwest ICE Processing Center. For legal work AMS books Spanish interpreters certified by the Washington courts.
Neighborhoods and nearby cities with large Spanish-speaking communities include South Park, White Center, Burien, SeaTac, Tukwila and Kent.
