Who We Are

Afghan Association
of Puget Sound

The Afghan Association of Puget Sound represents thousands of Afghan families who have made the greater Seattle area their home. From longtime residents to recently resettled families, our community is vibrant, resilient, and deeply committed to one another.

For years, we have gathered in homes, parks, and borrowed halls. Now, we are working toward something permanent — a dedicated space where every Afghan family in our region can find community, support, and belonging.
