You may not have noticed, but many of the recent events and programs in our community were made possible through generous grants from 4Culture, an organization that provides funding and support for cultural work throughout King County.
The Polish Home Association and the Seattle Polish Foundation would like to express their sincere gratitude to 4Culture for its generous 2026 grants and for its continued commitment to supporting cultural organizations, artists, and community programs across the region.
These grants help make it possible for us to organize meaningful events, preserve and share Polish heritage, bring people together, and contribute to the vibrant cultural life of our community. Support from organizations such as 4Culture plays an important role in ensuring that these programs can continue and reach an even wider audience.
Many of these grants were made possible through the dedicated work of the Seattle Polish Foundation, and especially through the extraordinary efforts of Alison Wobbrock. Alison spent countless hours researching opportunities, preparing applications, coordinating details, and helping secure this important funding.
We would like to offer Alison a heartfelt thank-you for her leadership, commitment, and hard work. Her dedication has made a meaningful difference to our organizations and to the broader community we serve.
A big shoutout to Alison for everything she does, and our sincere thanks to 4Culture for investing in cultural programs and community connections throughout King County.

In summer and fall the forests in Poland come alive with people; young and old are united by a lofty goal to find wild mushrooms, a prized commodity since time immemorial. Mushroom foraging in Poland is not only a pastime but, particularly in the countryside, it’s a way of life. Mushrooms are cooked, fried, marinated and stored in jars, dried, froze or salted (rather rare today). There is hardly a house that does not have a couple of pounds of dried mushrooms in a pantry to enhance the flavor of meat dishes, soups, or to make a fabulous mushroom sauce. Poles could die for pierogis with mushrooms or a delish mushroom sauerkraut dish.
