*“Hey, Black Seattle!” the Digital Hub of Black Community in the Puget Sound Celebrates Its Anniversary*

The Black community in the Puget Sound has been on the rise in recent years. Like many transplants, Kiesha B. Free moved to the area for work, but after leaving corporate America in 2021, she transitioned into entrepreneurship and began to search for Black community for herself and her daughter. Having navigated the isolation often associated with the area, Free had the idea to do the same for others, by building a digital hub for the Black community across King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kitsap, and Thurston counties. So, the idea for “Hey, Black Seattle!” took shape, and in 2024, during the last week of Black History Month, the platform was launched and rapidly became a resource to discover events, find opportunities, and build community in a city where connections can often feel scattered.
