Queen Elizabeth II’s death sent a shockwave of mourning across the world as memories of royal tours and visits come to the minds of many, including a five-hour stop in Seattle in 1983.
On March 7, 1983, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip visited Seattle as the last stop of their 10-day Pacific Coast tour of the United States before heading off to Victoria and Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Queen’s first and only full-length Pacific Coast tour began in San Diego on Feb. 27, 1983, after an invitation from President Ronald Reagan.

I myself have just moved to Seattle and I’ve tried to brush up on my history but I had no idea that Queen Elizabeth ll had once visited Seattle! Thank you for posting this.
My British grandparents shared the Queen’s love of family, duty, perseverance, and wit. For the past 24 hours I have been flooded by wonderful memories.
They, too, passed in their 90s and led such full and wonderful lives in the territories. I can only hope to live so long and to pass knowing that I made a difference.
I so miss Jean and her gorgeous smile. That said I take comfort knowing she is enjoying retirement to its fullest after an extraordinary career full of praise and awards.
Cheers!
