The Seattle Japanese School was founded in 1971 by local businessmen of Japanese descent; by 1993, it had over 600 students and served most of the Puget Sound region.[2]
In 1986 the school moved to Bellevue since most of the students resided in the Eastside of King County, Washington.[3]
As of 1993[update] the student body numbered 600, with the majority being children of Japanese citizens on work visas. As of that year some students originated from Tacoma, and others came from Anacortes.[4]
