Spread the love to Seattle’s BIPOC-, women-, and LGBTQIA-owned small businesses.

The culturally diverse fabric of our neighborhoods is what makes Seattle such a rich place to visit. That’s why we partnered with Seattle Bank to help spread tourism dollars to Seattle’s small businesses in diverse communities. This year, the program is focused on the Chinatown-International District, encouraging visitors to explore this vibrant neighborhood to eat, drink, shop, and spend intentionally. Learn more about how our Community Partnership Program works.
