The Irish in Snoqualmie, WA

Seattle’s Irish heritage traces back to immigrants who helped build the port city and its working-class neighborhoods in the 19th century. Today, cultural life thrives through groups like the Irish Heritage Club of Seattle, which organizes festivals and Gaelic sports. Pubs such as Kells Irish Restaurant & Pub in Post Alley and Owl N’ Thistle downtown are beloved gathering spots for music, food, and camaraderie. Each March, the Seattle St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Irish Festival brings thousands together to celebrate Irish culture in the Pacific Northwest.
