As a member organization of the Communities of Concern Commission, the Ethiopian Community in Seattle (ECS) is one of the first grassroots organizations founded by Ethiopian immigrants residing in the greater Puget Sound. Since its founding in 1987, ECS has been serving Ethiopians and East Africans of Seattle and King County.
