Zyta Rudzka “Tylko durnie żyją do końca”

Lida, nauczycielka wychowania fizycznego, porzuca duże miasto i wybiera życie na uboczu z dwoma mężczyznami. Jest outsiderką, która szuka przyjemności i je znajduje. Lida ma w sobie wyniosłość wobec tego, co złego ją od losu spotyka. I nie przygląda się światu, tylko się z nim zderza.

Grand Opening of Chata Romana

If you haven’t met Roman Rogalski, one of the most active and generous members of our community, stop by the Polish Home on Friday to say hello—he’ll be there. You’ve probably noticed the run-down house next to the Polish Home.
Here’s the story of Roman and the Chata.

SPF Flood Relief

Dear Members of the Polish Community,

The Seattle Polish Foundation is here for you—in good times and especially in difficult ones. If you or someone you know has been affected by the recent floods or windstorms, please reach out to us. SPF is ready to offer support. 

If you have not been directly impacted but would like to help, we welcome your involvement. You can contact us to volunteer, or make a donation to SPF with a note specifying flood relief. Every contribution makes a difference. 

Together, we can ensure that no one faces these challenges alone. 

Thank You Seattle

This Giving Tuesday, over $3,500 was donated—an incredible achievement! Congratulations and thank you for your generosity. You can still support Polish community cultural events by visiting the Seattle Polish Foundation website or contributing directly to the Giving Tuesday fundraiser. The PHA elections will be held on January 25, 2026. Anyone

It’s Time to Give Thanks—and Celebrate!

This is the season to reflect on all the things we’re grateful for and to think about how we can help others. One of the best ways to make a difference is by participating in the Seattle Polish Foundation fundraisers. The next event, Giving Tuesday, takes place on December 2, and this year we’ll be raising funds for Polish cultural events in Seattle. If you remember Janusz Olejniczak’s concert years ago, you’ll agree that an event of such caliber is long overdue. With your support, it could happen again soon.

Elizy Kącka – Wczoraj Byłaś Zła na Zielono

Bezkompromisowa i brawurowa – taka jest autobiograficzna proza Elizy Kąckiej. To opowieść o podwójnym doświadczeniu pewnej odmienności i nieprzystawalności do narzuconych społecznie ram. O mozolnym, ale pięknym budowaniu trudnej, nieoczywistej relacji. O byciu matką i córką. O życiowym dryfie, performowaniu świata i wydreptywaniu wiedzy. O dzielności. O miłości. O życiu
