Wing Luke Museum
Restored immigrant hotel and family-association rooms inside a nineteen-ten Chinatown building, now a community history museum.
This guide to the Wing Luke Museum in Seattle opens with a nine-year-old boy watching movers stack his family's furniture on the sidewalk after a wartime eviction driven by prejudice. That boy, Wing Chong Luke, grew up behind his family's grocery counter, went to war, came home decorated, and turned to politics, becoming the first Asian American elected to office in the Pacific Northwest. From the council he pushed fair-housing rules and fought for the immigrant neighborhood around the East Kong Yick Building, raised in nineteen ten by Chinese immigrant families who pooled their own savings because no bank would lend to them.
