Reader suggests new approach to ending homelessness

October 7, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Dear Editor,

I agree with Patricia Fong (October 3–9 Northwest Asian Weekly issue) that there is a big homeless problem in the Chinatown-International District (CID) and that the issues of Covid-19 exacerbate the situation even more. What I don’t agree with is the idea that removing these encampments is going to magically solve this problem.

LETTER: Reader appreciates support for Black Lives Matter

September 3, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Dear Editor, My name is Debra Lyles-Mobley. I am a 65-year-old Black woman who was born in Seattle, and started out on 10th and Jefferson, near the Ruby Chow’s Chinese restaurant (no Black people were welcomed there). Some of my fondest memories were going to Chinatown with my family, where I never felt unwelcomed. My […]

LETTER: Artists appreciation from Bruce Lee’s widow

June 18, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

My name is Linda Lee Cadwell and I was married to Bruce Lee. A Garfield High School friend of mine, Sue Kay, sent me an article about the many artists who have dedicated their time and talents to dressing up the damage to storefronts in the Chinatown-International District.

LETTER: Asian American reader expresses support for Black Lives Matter

June 4, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

It has been difficult to find the words that truly express my sentiments following the death of George Floyd and my growing distaste for my passive support for the Black Lives Matter movement. I am not extremely active on social media, but find myself looking at other avenues to support: donating $20 here, signing a […]

LETTER: Racial hate crimes against Asian Americans

June 4, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Dear Editor, The rise in hate crimes directed at local Asian Americans is cause for alarm. Asian Americans are daily harassed, spat upon, and even viciously assaulted. Our Seattle Police Department reports nine xenophobic attacks since March. While racial prejudice has always been an ugly fact of life, never have we witnessed such a dramatic […]

LETTER: Reader shares her disappointment with SPD

May 21, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Dear Editor, I read your article (online) about the incident that happened to Kert Lin. I thought about leaving a comment on the article but it became more about my story instead so I’m writing you to share my story. I’m so disappointed with the Seattle Police Department (SPD).  Something similar happened to me in […]

LETTER: Reader takes issue with editorial on Trump scapegoating immigrants

May 21, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Dear Asian Weekly,  I find your editorial (April 25 issue) very biased and your justification flawed.  As a retired nurse, I worked with immigrant nurses. I found them no better or worse than American. I would see no need to give up my position for one of them.   Now I see no need for […]
