For over a century, the Polish-American community of the Pacific Northwest has been contributing to the local fabric of society while supporting the homeland throughout its turbulent history. Over 125,000 residents of Washington State claim Polish ancestry; around 5,000 Poles live in the Seattle area. It may not sound like a lot, but their level of energy and initiative compensate for the numbers.

The Polish Festival
http://www.polishfestivalseattle.org/polish-community/
We didn't have much time to stay and enjoy this festival but we managed to get a huge plate of food to sample first off. The Polish beer garten looked appetizing as well but it was early in the day and I still had to teach some sailing lessons so we sailed on by and went inside the Armory to check out the performance on the stage there. Seattle is just one of places that you can't do it all, no matter how hard you try!
