SEATTLE, Wash. — The South Korean government bought nearly half a block of property on West Mercer Street between First Ave West and Second Ave West to build a new consulate office.
"The consulate felt a great need to relocation to provide a better service to its visitors and the local community in the greater Seattle area," said Consul Chul Ho Choi.
"The current Consulate office is too small for our expanding programs, events and civil services."
