Dear Editor, I thoroughly enjoyed the enlightenment from your article “Clock runs out in Olympia on bill to aid SeaTac Area mobile home residents” (March 16, 2018) because it presents an all too common scenario in Washington state, where county government doesn’t give a damn about the lives of working class people of Latino heritage. […]
LETTER: Reader pushes for diversity in M’s broadcasting
Dear Editor, Each year for four years, I have provided the Seattle Mariners with the concern that the M’s broadcast team does not reflect the faces of the community it serves — considering the diversity of our team, the fans in the stands, and the greater community surrounding Safeco field that attend the games and […]
LETTER: Reader response to mobile park closing story
Dear Editor, Reporter Jason Cruz might want to consider checking in with other elected officials and the homeowners themselves, before offering a one-sided story regarding the fate of owners of manufactured homes who reside at the Firs mobile home park in SeaTac. (Clock runs out in Olympia, March 16, 2018.) Mr. Cruz ought to have […]
LETTER: Reader feedback on Feb. 24 issue
Dear Editor, I like to grab your paper each week for some articles the mainstream media largely forgets, plus the sudoku puzzle helps pass a bit more time in my day. But you should be more judicious with your editing, because the Feb. 24 issue had some colossally moronic editorials. First you had a nigh-worthless […]
LETTER: Open letter to Golden West College
By Bettie Sing Luke Multicultural diversity trainer Seattle A very disturbing anti-Asian incident was brought to my attention and verified by the LA Times in a March 5th article.

LETTER: Asian American youth at the Olympics

The names that go with these faces — Chen, Zhou, Nagasu, the Shibutanis, Hong, Kim, another Chen, […]
COMMENTARY: Reader responds to A-pop column
Dear Editor, This is regarding the December 2017 A-pop column.

LETTER: Reader concerned about proposed cell phone transmitters
I read with dismay about the Moriguchis’ plan to grant access to the rooftop on the Publix Apartments to install cellular panel antennae and peripheral cell transmitters. I share the concern of the ‘concerned citizen’ who resides in the ID/Chinatown, who wrote about this matter. I just called the Uwajimaya administrative office to voice my […]
LETTER: Reader gives input on SPD diversity dispute
Dear Editor, I wish that Mr. Irigon had gotten his wish to have appointed an Asian Pacific Islander to Seattle Police Command, but I am not persuaded that Chief Kathleen O’Toole’s response to unanimous recommendations should not brighten the day of a woman who faces what she often calls “very difficult” and “no-win” decisions. I […]
LETTER: SPD diversity dispute (Letter to Kathleen O’Toole)
Dear Kathy, I recently found out that you appointed three non-Asians to Assistant Chiefs positions. I felt blindsided and betrayed. You were aware of the Asian Pacific Islanders (API)’s community concerns that there were no APIs on your command staff. Based on your previous history, when you were the Boston police commissioner and appointed an […]
