Join us in celebrating Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month in Washington State! With over 604,000 Asian Americans and 70,000 Pacific Islanders, our state boasts the seventh largest Asian American population and third largest Pacific Islander population in the nation. From the vibrant Puget Sound area to communities in Yakima Valley and counties like Clark, Whitman, and Spokane, their contributions are felt statewide. This year’s theme, “Advancing Leaders Through Innovation,” recognizes the pioneering spirit and lasting contributions of AANHPI leaders in Washington’s economy and culture.
