Pike Place Market. The Space Needle. Views of Mount Rainier. Those are some reasons Seattle is one of the most beautiful cities in the United States.

Seattle was also the host city for an ‘Iolani reunion attended by more than 100 alumni and friends on February 27 at the Palisades Restaurant.

Alumni were able to share their common bonds, while Headmaster Dr. Val ’67 and Cynthia Iwashita and Director of Development Chris Shimabukuro ’85 enjoyed re-connecting with graduates in the Pacific Northwest.
