Muslim Association of Puget Sound

What Muslim Association of Puget Sound does

Muslim Association of Puget Sound (MAPS) is a non-profit religious and community organization founded in 2006 and headquartered at 17550 NE 67th Ct, Redmond, Washington. It operates as the largest Islamic Center in Washington State, serving over 7,000 Muslim families from more than 50 countries across three campuses in Redmond (44,000 sqft headquarters), downtown Seattle, and Snohomish County (Marysville). The organization delivers a comprehensive portfolio of religious services (five daily prayers, Jummah, marriage, funeral, religious counseling), Islamic education programs spanning children through adults (Precious Hearts preschool, Sunday School, Hifz/Quran memorization, PNW Seminary), social services (emergency food/rental assistance, refugee support, transitional housing, small business technical assistance), youth and women's programming, interfaith outreach, and ancillary offerings including a library, MUHSEN-certified disability inclusion programs, and facility rentals. Annual footprint includes 60,000+ guests hosted, 100+ classes per month, and 800+ weekly Jummah attendance at the Seattle campus alone.

MAPS generates revenue through a diversified non-profit model anchored by community donations, supplemented by facility rentals of its Redmond headquarters, burial-plot and funeral-service fees at MAPS Gardens, and grants and contracts with municipal governments (Redmond, Bellevue, Kirkland, King County, WA Department of Commerce) and foundations (Seattle Foundation). The organization is supported by 11–50 professional staff, 200+ volunteers in MAPS Community Services, and a volunteer Board of Directors and Board of Trustees. Its technology stack consists of conventional community-organization tools — WordPress website (mapsredmond.org), Constant Contact for newsletters, Calendly for tour bookings, Google Forms for registrations, and Aplos for donor management — with no proprietary platform or software product. The organization is led by President Mohammed Vakil (since November 2022), COO Mahmood Khadeer (ex-Microsoft/Google/Intergraph) leading the capital program, and Head Imam Sheikh Adam Jamal.

MAPS is currently executing two capital programs: a $50 million acquisition of the 146,000-square-foot VIBE Campus on 7.6 acres at the Bellevue-Redmond border (planned move-in 2028, financed via Islamic bank) and a $5.5 million purchase of a 14,900-square-foot Belltown building in downtown Seattle as a permanent masjid. A 2026 merger of MAPS-MCRC and MAPS-SBRN into a unified MAPS Community Services arm will consolidate social-services and small-business support under one roof. Customer acquisition is community-led through word-of-mouth, mosque tours, interfaith outreach, and event-driven engagement; the organization does not pursue conventional commercial sales motion.

Broad incumbents

• ISNA (Islamic Society of North America): Largest umbrella body of Muslim American communities, operating conventions, education, and masjid support. Comparable as a broad incumbent enabling mosque networks similar to MAPS.
• CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations): National Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. Comparable for the civic-engagement and outreach dimensions of MAPS-IOC, though operating at national rather than community scale.
• Muslim Community Center of Chicago: Long-established multi-program Muslim community center combining religious services, full-time school, social services, and youth programs. A benchmark peer for the crade-to-grave community-services model MAPS is building toward.
• ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America): National umbrella for Muslim community organizations in the US, with affiliated masajid and social-service programs. Comparable as a broader institutional incumbent offering community services, youth, and education programs at scale.

Emerging players

• Zakat Foundation of America: National Muslim nonprofit providing emergency relief, refugee support, and small-business programs — overlapping with MAPS Community Services and SBRN mission areas.

Regional players

• Eastside Interfaith Council: Eastside Puget Sound interfaith coalition. Comparable for the interfaith bridge-building function that MAPS-IOC performs in the same Eastside geography.

Direct peers

• Medina Academy: A stated MAPS partner operating Islamic middle and high school classes at MAPS Redmond; comparable as an Islamic-education provider embedded in a community-masjid ecosystem.
• MAPS Seattle (internal): MAPS's own downtown Seattle satellite; listed as a self-comparable to reflect the multi-site branch model that other large masajid use to expand.
• Islamic Center of Bothell: Nearby Pacific Northwest masjid serving Muslim families in the Eastside/North Seattle corridor. A direct comparable for religious services, Sunday school, and community programming targeting the same demographic in adjacent geography.

Others

• Humanitarian Tracker: Global refugee and humanitarian data organization led by MAPS's Outreach & Advocacy Chair (Hend Alhinnawi). Adjacent ecosystem player rather than direct competitor.
