THE TACOMA IMMIGRANT STORIES PROJECT

The Tacoma Immigrant Stories Project is an ongoing initiative from the World Affairs Council of Tacoma to record, capture and present the experiences of Tacoma immigrants in their own words. From the date of its incorporation as a city, immigrants have contributed to the character and vitality of Tacoma. These brief interviews are intended to raise awareness of the immigrant experience in Tacoma and the contributions that immigrants have made to our city.

 

If you are a first generation immigrant living in Tacoma and interested in joining our project, please contact us.
