Chinatown, which is located on the southeast side of downtown, is part of the International District, along with Japantown and Little Saigon. It is one of Seattle’s eight historic neighborhoods, dating back to the mid-1800s. This popular community is home to some beloved locations, including Seattle’s first Chinese restaurant, Tai Tung, which opened in 1935. Other great locations include the New Century Tea Gallery, the historic Panama Hotel, and the Wing Luke Museum.
The photo-worthy Chinatown Gate, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, welcomes visitors to Chinatown. Rich with culture and community, Chinatown hosts a variety of events, including the Dragon Fest and the Lunar New Year Festival. Residents gather at the popular Hing Hay Park, which features an elegant pavilion and gate. The park hosts the popular night market, an open-air bazaar, every fall.
With its walkability, extensive transit system, and overall ambiance, living in Chinatown provides an active, fun-filled lifestyle just a short walk from downtown.
