2022 Naturalization Ceremony
Every Fourth of July, the public is invited to welcome Seattle’s freshly minted Americans, as the Seattle Center hosts the swearing-in of dozens and sometimes hundreds of new citizens from around the world. Seattle’s annual naturalization ceremony is one of the largest in the nation. As previously mentioned, immigration is what actually makes America great, and the naturalization process can take years or even decades, so this humble-seeming party’s a big deal for many folks. Bring your little tiny flags for wavin’!
