Seattle Japanese School (シアトル日本語補習学校, Shiatoru Nihongo Hoshūgakkō) is a supplementary Japanese school located in the Seattle metropolitan area. It holds its classes in Bellevue.^[1]

The Seattle Japanese School was founded in 1971 by local businessmen of Japanese descent; by 1993, it had over 600 students and served most of the Puget Sound region.^[2]

In 1986 the school moved to Bellevue since most of the students resided in the Eastside of King County, Washington.^[3]

As of 1993^[update] the student body numbered 600, with the majority being children of Japanese citizens on work visas. As of that year some students originated from Tacoma, and others came from Anacortes.^[4]
