At the Seattle Office for Civil Rights, we envision a city where all people enjoy equal rights, equal opportunity and freedom from illegal discrimination. SOCR promotes racial and social justice for everyone in Seattle through education, policy work, and enforcement of civil rights laws.

Here is some of what you can discover on our site:

• Learn how to file a discrimination complaint in housing, employment, public accommodations and contracting.
• Link to the web sites of the Seattle Human Rights Commission, Seattle Women’s Commission and Seattle Commission for Sexual Minorities.
• Browse through our brochures, booklets and information cards on a variety of topics.
• View our publications translated into other languages.
• Learn about the Mayor's Race and Social Justice Initiative.
• Link to the “Employing Immigrants” web site for quick and easy access to information on immigration-related employment law.

We have created a text-only version of the site for people who use a screen reader, as well as a Spanish-language version. If you have any trouble accessing any part of our web site, please let us know as soon as possible.

Thanks for visiting,

Julie Nelson, Director
