INTERNATIONAL PRESS CENTER

The Seattle International Press Center assists international journalists with their coverage of the vibrant and diverse landscape that is Greater Seattle and Washington state. We do this by providing logistics assistance, background and research information and meeting coordination for journalists who are writing stories about the region. The Trade Alliance hosts the Seattle IPC at the request of the U.S. State Department, and is one of three privately managed press centers in the nation.
