Laanta Columbia, Maktabadda Dadwaynaha Ee Seattle, waxay ku talaa 4721 Rainier Avenue S ee ku xigta Beerta Columbia oo ku yaala cidhifka waqooyi ee degmada ganacsiga ee xaafada Columbia City ee koonfurta-barri ee Seattle. Dhismaha caanka ah ee la dhisay 1915 ee laantu waa ka ugu yar maktabadaha ka dhisan Seattle laguna dhisay deeq uu bixiyay Samafalahii loo yaqaanay Andrew Carnegie (1835 – 1919). Laanta lafteedu waxay bilaabantay taariikhdii 1909, laba sano kadib markii Magaalada Columbia ku darsantay Seattle, markaasoo laan yar laga furay meel ku taalay xaafad saboola oo ka midda hoolkii hore ee xaafada Columbia City. Laga bilaabo aasaaskii laanta 1909, laantu waxay soo martay isbedelo waa-wayn marka la eego xaafada oo hadiyo goor soo jiidata kooxaha socdaalkaah ee kasoo jeeda Talyaani, Eeshiyaan, Jasiiradaha Baasifiga. Marka la eego barnaamijka horumarinta “Libraries for All” (maktabadu ha hellaan dhamaan dadku), boon qiimaheegu yahay $196.4 milyan ayey ansixiyeen codbixiyayaasha Seattle 1998kii. Dhismahawaa la libin-laabay baxadiisa. Wuxuu xidhnaa sannad dib u dhis lagu waday, wuxuu dib u furmay Ogosto 2004. Maktabadda la ballaadhiyey ee dib loo dhisay waxay ilaalinaysaa sifada gaarka ah ee dhismaha calaamad ahaan.
