Seattle King County
First Citizen Award
The First Citizen Award celebrates community leadership, volunteerism, and public service. Past recipients hail from both the public and private sectors, ranging from humanitarian groups, corporations, charitable, health and educational institutions, to various arts, environmental, and civic organizations.
Seattle’s Oldest Civic Recognition
Founded in 1939, the First Citizen Award is believed to be this region’s oldest such recognition of community leadership, volunteerism, and public service. The civic banquet to honor the annual recipients is a not-for-profit celebration of civic engagement presented by Seattle King County Realtors® and partners from the real estate community.
