Welcome to the Tibetan Association of Washington official home page.

As of today, Tibetan Community of Washington is estimated at somewhere near 200. Even though the number is extremely small compared to other ethnic communities. But we are proud to say that the State of Washington with its greater Seattle area has become a thriving Tibetan community.

We have several Buddhist centers, a monastery, Tibetan retail stores, as well as frequent cultural and political events.

We Tibetan bear more than fond memories of our homeland, we have a constant presence in our hearts and in our minds of duty in bringing freedom and independence to Tibet.

Bho Gyal Lho!
