Members of the Australian and New Zealand communities in the greater Seattle region gathered for an Anzac Day dawn service on Sunday 23 April, to honour those who have served our nations in times of war, conflict, peace and humanitarian operations.

Around 80 people met at the steps of the Museum of History & Industry (MOHAI) for the service.

CVWP Foreign Liaison Officer and Squadron Leader Conrad Stalling, a member of the Royal Australian Air Force stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island (NASWI), gave an Anzac Day address.

Several other RAAF and New Zealand service members were in attendance, as well as representatives from the Turkish American Cultural Association of Washington (TACAWA).

Following the service, attendees were invited for a light breakfast at the nearby Courtyard Marriott Lake Union.

AACC Pacific Northwest would like to thank Katharine Holdsworth, NZ Honorary Consul for Seattle and Washington state; the New Zealanders of Seattle & Seattle Christchurch Sister City Association; the RAAF; TACAWA; and the Courtyard Marriott Lake Union.
