It’s pronounced like this: Tat-ee-OO-chi

Tat (kind of like “tot,” as in a small child)

eee

oo (like “moo”)

chi (like “chia pet”)

This is good news, indeed. The eastside is blossoming into a vibrant place to go and enjoy the arts.

This is the single largest gift ever given to an Eastside non-profit, according to the Tateuchi Foundation. I love that it also represents the growing diversity of our City. Bellevue is in great need of a performance venue larger than Meydenbauer’s 450 seats. With 2000 seats, we’ll have advanced staging to accommodate touring shows and serve as an alternative venue for the larger Seattle groups: symphony, ballet, opera. My hope is that this generous gift jump-starts other Eastside donors to come forward now so ground breaking can take place and we can begin to enjoy the Tateuchi Center sooner than later.
