Russian students in Washington state united in a National Union, which by 1920 had 49 members. Of these, 10 studied at the University of Washington, where the Russian Student Society operated in the 1920s. This university graduated from 5 to 10 Russian students annually.

The Slavic Studies School at the University of Washington is still considered one of the leading institutions in the USA, thanks to the contributions of Russian professors. From 1931 to 1969, Professor A.V. Spector (Spektorsky) worked here, the author of numerous books and teaching aids. He served in the Russian army and participated in wars. He arrived in the USA in 1920 and obtained his doctorate from the University of Chicago in 1928.

In Seattle, former consul N.V. Bogoyavlensky made attempts to create Russian schools. His colleague Prince N. Obolensky noted in a letter dated August 18, 1928: "This is manifested in our desire to instill the Russian spirit in the younger generation, and honor to you and your friends for creating a Russian-American society that supports the Russian education of our children."

A department of the Society for the Assistance of Children of Russian Emigrants, founded by A.N. Sudakov, also operated in Seattle. For a long time, A.N. Zhedenev was the chairman of the department. Society members collected funds to assist large emigrant families and clothing to send to children in Manchuria, and organized various charitable events.
