Discover the postwar Seattle Chinatown depicted in John Okada's renowned novel, "No-No Boy," and delve into the real-life community that inspired it. Join our panel discussion as we explore the imagined world of Okada's novel, alongside the historical context that shaped it. Family historian Shox Tokita will share fascinating stories about the Chinatown hotels managed by Japanese Americans, including three owned by his mother. Former Seattle City Councilmember Dolores Sibonga will offer insights into the experiences of Filipino residents and workers in Chinatown, drawing from her own family's history and the Estigoy Café. Dr. Marie Rose Wong, author of "Building Tradition: Pan-Asian Seattle and Life in the Residential Hotels," will provide a comprehensive examination of the history of single-room occupancy residential hotels in Chinatown and the challenges they currently face. Moderated by Emily Porcincula Lawsin, 4Culture Historic Preservation Program Manager, this panel is a collaboration with University of Washington Press, North American Post, and Chin Music Press. Generously supported by The Seattle Public Library Foundation and the Gary and Connie Kunis Foundation, with media sponsorship from The Seattle Times.

Our esteemed presenters bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the discussion. Frank Abe, guest curator, is a co-editor of the upcoming anthology "The Literature of Japanese American Incarceration" and the lead author of the graphic novel "We Hereby Refuse: Japanese American Resistance to Wartime Incarceration." Shokichi "Shox" Tokita, a Seattle native, shares his personal experiences as a Japanese American who lived in Chinatown during WWII and later served in the USAF. Dr. Marie Rose Wong, a Professor Emerita of Urban Planning and Asian American History, will draw on her extensive research on Chinatown's history and residential hotels. Dolores Dasalla Sibonga, Washington state's first Filipina American female lawyer and former Seattle City Councilmember, will contribute valuable insights into the Filipino community in Chinatown. Emily Porcincula Lawsin, our moderator, is an accomplished historian and writer with a deep connection to the Filipino American community.

從貝爾維尤步行就可以到達西雅圖520大橋，如圖一，這裏還是個很漂亮的公園和停車場，喜歡步行走過大橋就到達西雅圖了，喜歡乘坐公交車也可以，車站就在停車場的下邊，很多車次，而且等車時間都不長，特別方便。

令人驚嘆的海鮮和有趣的氛圍肯定！讓我想起了舊金山；最好的部分是觀看街頭藝人！我遇到了一位女士，她為 Motley Cr&uuml; 的 Dr. Feel good 打鼓，非常棒！我和 4 個海鮮攤販一起吃了牡蠣射手，同時買了美味的煙燻鮭魚。沿著大道走下去，我遇到了一家賣熱巧克力餅乾的地方，上面還撒著片狀海鹽。可口的！最後，有一家土耳其經營的商店，那位女士給了我關於禮物的極好的建議，並吃了我吃過的最好的果仁蜜餅。
