The Seattle Sherpa Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the Sherpa community, promoting and preserving Sherpa culture, tradition, heritage and strengthening mutual cooperation of Sherpa worldwide. Sherpa people are from the Himalaya, a magical place where the world's highest mountains are mirrored in the rugged beauty and unique culture of those who live in their shadow. The Seattle Sherpa Society was founded on July 7th 2007 to create a welcoming community open to all Sherpa people. Our mission is very basic, to help each other while strengthening cultural values and traditions.
