The Seattle Go Center was built by Kaoru Iwamoto, a professional Go player in Japan. He was playing a match during the bombing of Hiroshima, which inspired him to open centers around the world and spread intercultural exchange. Seattle's center was the last remaining, but now the organization needs to find a new home while retaining its community.

In Seattle's U-District, there’s a non-descript two story building tucked near the corner of I-5 and 45th street. On the side of that building is a large sign that looks like graph paper with black and white circles on it. If you’re a smartypants, you may recognize this as a game of GO. If you’re a super smartypants, you might head inside to play the game at the “Seattle GO Center.”
