To the Pacific NW first & the Emerald City, #Seattle where 11.3% claim Irish as their primary heritage. @CityofSeattle & @galwaycity are sister cities since 1986 & the current Mayor Seattle @MayorJenny has a strong Irish heritage, primarily from #Mayo (pic below!) 
John Keane (second in from the left below) is our Honorary Consul in Western US & he has been at the heart of our community in Seattle for decades. He is ably supported by the irrepressible Noreen McCormack (beside John) & they're quite a duo in promoting Ireland-Seattle links!
There is a vibrant community of #GlobalIrish groups & organisations in Seattle - @IrishSeattle, @IrishNetworkSea & @SeattleGaels to name just a few. Together they organise a remarkable programme of heritage, business, sporting & cultural events in Seattle throughout the year.
