Seattle Cultural Guides are a resource for visitors who want to explore the city's rich cultural heritage. The guides feature museums and historic sites, public art works, and tourist attractions that give visitors an insider's view of Seattle's ethnic communities and unique history.

Our new Seattle Cultural Heritage Guides are available now.

Seattle is proud of its diverse ethnic and cultural heritage, and its communities continue to value traditions of language, music and dance, food, arts and crafts, and celebrations that mark seasonal cycles and commemorate special events. Visitors are invited to experience these traditions and participate in these events, and in doing so, to see more of Seattle's rich cultural dimensions.

The Cultural Guides project was created by the Cultural Tourism Program of Seattle's Convention and Visitors Bureau, with funding from 4Culture (King County Lodging Tax) and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation. The places, events and stories featured in the Cultural Guides that make Seattle unique are preserved and shared by dozens of community organizations and small businesses. The Bureau thanks them for their work, and especially thanks the many community volunteers who reviewed and contributed to this project.

In Seattle, stop by the Seattle Visitor Center & Concierge Services kiosk at the Washington State Convention & Trade Center, on Pike Street between 7th and 8th Avenues, for a full range of information to enhance your visit.
