We are moving to Seattle area and are wondering what neighborhood is populated by Russians?

They're mostly up north in Lynnwood and down south in Federal Way. Haven't seen many in the city.

I'd say the Crossroads neighborhood of Bellevue and the East Hill of Kent.

Definitely the Crossroads area, although East Indians (mostly from South India) are far far more numerous than any other ethnic group in all the apartment complexes near Crossroads.

I'd agree with Crossroads as well - also a LOT of East Indians there (as mentioned).

There seems to be a pocket in West Seattle.

I don't recall seeing many in ANY of those locations. I see a lot of Eastern Europeans, yes. But Eastern Europeans != Russians. Most of them are Romanians or Hungarians. H1(b) workers, for the most part.

Not much of a Russian population in Seattle from what I ever saw. Certainly not a decent Russian restaurant, which is about the only thing the city is missing.

I pointed out Eastgate because I know actual Russians living there, they either went to BCC with me or worked with me in the Bellevue area. One of them told me that area had lots of Russians living there. (Eastgate is next to Crossroads.)

There is/was a Russian deli/bakery in Crossroads mall.

If you want huge Russian population... I'd say that Vancouver, WA would be a good place to check. My husband had lots of Russian classmates. My MIL even laments about how the Russian mafia would have their meetings at the Starbucks off of 205/Mill Plain ( I don't know if that's actually true or not. )
