Wing Luke Museum

A recommended stop in the Chinatown-International District, the Wing Luke Museum has a collection of more than 18,000 pieces documenting the Asian American refugee and immigrant experience in north western United States. The museum represents 26 different ethnic groups and is the only museum in America to take this pan-Asian perspective. The permanent display, Honoring Our Journey, explains how people from Asia arrived in the Northwest in the 19th and 20th centuries and details the livelihoods and customs of these communities. “Chinatown-International District” goes into the rich history of the neighbourhood, while at the time of writing in spring 2019 there were several riveting exhibitions on post-war immigration from Vietnam and on Bruce Lee’s link to Seattle.
