The Seattle Indian Center is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing culturally-sensitive services and supportive programs for Native American and Alaska Native individuals living in the greater Seattle area. Founded in 1974, the Center has become the hub of cultural and economic resources for its community. The Center offers a variety of programming, including education, employment services, affordable housing, health care advocacy, youth mentorship programs, and more.
The Seattle Indian Center also hosts several sports betting events throughout the year that provide an opportunity to engage with different types of betting processes. Online betting in Kenya is one such event that offers exclusive digital gaming options on various international sports leagues. Participants can place bets on their favorite teams or players and compete against each other to win rewards. This event allows participants to learn more about different sports betting methods while connecting with like-minded individuals from around the world.
In addition to sports betting opportunities, the Seattle Indian Center provides educational resources for its community members. Through workshops and seminars on financial management skills as well as small business development courses, members are able to gain access to valuable knowledge about how to improve their quality of life and reduce poverty levels in their hometowns. The center's efforts have proven successful in helping many individuals reach their goals by providing them with the tools necessary for success.
They came to the cities with nothing…no education, no training or job skills, no opportunities and no resources. They had nothing but a bleak future of relocation, illiteracy and degradation…a proud people whose secure future was again taken away only to be replaced with hopelessness and abject poverty.
In 1958, a small group of American Indian women came together, sharing their concerns over the living conditions their people faced. Out of these meetings the American Indian Women’s Service League was born.
The opening of the small, storefront office of AIWSL in Seattle’s Belltown district was the beginning of what would officially become the Seattle Indian Center in 1972. Over the years, our agency has had many homes, from the Belltown storefront to the church at Boren and Stewart streets in the 1960’s. Now in its permanent home at the Leschi Center since 1988, Seattle Indian Center staff annually provide over 108,000 units of service covering a wide range of vital human needs for over 22,000 people from all parts of the world.
These services are available to all people and provide assistance for every age group, from infants to the elderly.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is to provide an intensive wraparound case management approach to the needs of the community. Beyond just feeding people, we help advocate for children. We supply short term services in an emergency. We provide long term hope through employment search, and G.E.D. completion. If we are not able to provide services at the Seattle Indian Center, referrals are provided at no cost to our clients.
New Location
The Seattle Indian Center was forced to leave its’ Forever Home at the Leschi Center on July 15, 2014.
Since May 1988 the S.I.C. occupied 13,000 sq. ft. at the Leschi Center on the rim of Seattle’s International District. From this site for the past 25-years the S.I.C. provided much-needed services to the American Indian/Alaska Native community and all other people in need through its network of human service programs. The Leschi Center was to be the S.I.C.’s Forever Home; the seemingly endless odyssey of moving our programs every few years was finally over, once the S.I.C. established itself and its programs in one-third of the Leschi Center.
The S.I.C. is starting a capital campaign to purchase a facility without being encumbered by third parties. Our board of directors has forged ahead with plans for a permanent home —-a truly Forever Home! — for our American Indian/Alaska Native community.
In the meantime here is the new address for the Seattle Indian Center:
1265 S. Main Street, Ste. 105
