In the year since Russia invaded Ukraine, more than 12,000 people in the Seattle area have volunteered to sponsor Ukrainians seeking refuge. That made the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue metro one of the most welcoming places in the U.S. for Ukrainian refugees this past year, according to Homeland Security data. By the numbers: Only the New York and Chicago areas had more people apply to host Ukrainians than Seattle. On a per capita basis, the Seattle metro had the most requests of any of the top areas.
