The Consulate General of Russia in Seattle was Russia's diplomatic office in Seattle, Washington that was operated by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs from December 1992 until 2018.[1] At the time of its opening it was the third consulate Russia had in the USA.[1] The Consul General of Seattle resided in Samuel Hyde House.[2]

Prior to its closure in 2018, the facility served Alaska, Idaho, Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.[3] The consulate assisted with the processing of passports, visas, and other officials docs.[4]

On March 26 2018 the US government expelled 60 Russian diplomats, and on March 30 2018 the US government closed the Seattle consulate.[5][6][7]

As of early 2025 the US and Russian governments are in talks to reopening the consulate again.[8][9]
