China Club of Seattle celebrated its centennial on April 22 with a dinner featuring special guest speaker Gary Locke. Bart Fite, the Club president, presented Locke with a backpack, remaking the image of Locke carrying a backpack on his way to Beijing, a symbol of his down-to-earth style.

Founded in 1916, the Club was a leader in opposing the Chinese Exclusion Act leading to its eventual repeal and reforming immigration laws. Today, the Club provides scholarships and financial aid to Chinese students coming to Seattle.
