Welcome to Seattle Center
Seattle Center hosts the 39th Annual Naturalization Ceremony, 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., Thursday July 4th at the Fisher Pavilion, and invites the public to observe as The Honorable David G. Estudillo, Chief United States District Judge for the Western District of Washington, swears in over 500 candidates as new citizens of the United States of America.
