Met up with a Seattle friend and visited the excellent Wing Luke Museum on Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. Part is an import/export store + cheap hotel that was active from the 1910s to 2000s, never renovated, and donated to museum. Part is a history of Asian immigrants and culture (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, but also Indian, Cambodia, Burmese). Part is art gallery. Special exhibit on music!

This looks like an interesting exhibition that just opened at the #WingLukeMuseum in #Seattle: “Nobody Lives Here: The People in the Path of Progress” about the displacement and destruction in the Chinatown-International District caused by the construction of the I-5 freeway. https://mynorthwest.com/3870583/routes-of-racism-civic-decision-making-and-highways-at-wing-luke-museum/
Routes of racism: Civic decision-making and highways at Wing Luke Museum

Standing under the highway on King Street a few days ago, Woodward raised her voice over the roar of the traffic overhead to describe what used to be there.
