Seattle Chinatown - International District |
 The
Chinatown-International
District is home to a great variety of shops, service businesses, arts,
and entertainment venues. It is truly a pan-Asian cultural
village and experience. This is where Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, and
Southeast Asians live, work, eat, and shop. As one of Seattle’s oldest
and most distinct districts, it borders between 4th and 12th avenues,
and Main and Lane streets. Near the King Street Station, the
Chinatown-International District is a stone’s throw from Pioneer Square
and Qwest Field. The demarcation between Chinatown and Little Saigon is
the brightly painted columns on 8th Avenue and Jackson Street.  The
Seattle
International District has been called the only place in the U.S.
where Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, Filipino Americans,
Vietnamese Americans, Korean Americans, Laotian Americans, Cambodian
Americans, and other Asian Americans live in one neighborhood.
The neighborhood is generally viewed as encompassing the blocks east of Fifth Avenue S., beyond which are Pioneer Square and SoDo; west of Boren and Rainier Avenues S., beyond which is Rainier Valley; north of S. Dearborn Street, beyond which are Beacon Hill and the Industrial District; and south of S. Main Street, beyond which is Downtown and First Hill. Hing Hay Park, at the corner of S. King Street and Maynard Avenue S., is considered a hub of the International District. The Wing Luke Asian Museum is an important cultural institution in the neighborhood, as was the Nippon Kan Theatre until its recent closure. Kobe Terrace/Danny Woo Garden, on the steep slope between I-5 and S. Main Street, is another important site, where many neighborhood residents have urban gardens Perhaps the neighborhood's most notable establishment is the Asian supermarket Uwajimaya. Across Fifth Avenue from Uwajimaya Village is the Union Station office complex, built where abandoned Union Pacific Railroad tracks once ran, and home to much of Amazon.com's operations
