Seattle Sephardic Tours

Join the Seattle Sephardic Network this summer for in-person tours of Seattle's current and historic Sephardic neighborhoods. Created in partnership with the Washington State Jewish Historical Society, this tour explores Seattle's rich and vibrant Sephardic history, that resonates through all community life today. Seattle has the third-largest Sephardic population in the United States and this proud heritage is highlighted in this tour, which takes place in Seattle's Central Area, beginning at Washington Hall. Join community tour guides (including some who grew up in the old neighborhood) who will share their stories as you embark on either a 2.25-mile walking tour or board a small bus to tour highlights of Seattle's Sephardic past. Participants will enjoy a Sephardic treat along the way and will return to Washington Hall 2 hours after the tour starts.

Registration closes June 26th for the June 30th tour, and July 24th for the July 28th tour.

If you have questions call (425)246-8757 or email [email protected].

Here's what last year's participants said about the tour:
