LETTER: Pandemic lessons learned

April 30, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

LETTER: Mayor Durkan has done more than previous mayors?

March 12, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

I wish to make some corrections with regards to your “Dealing with a crisis in Chinatown’’ blog in last week’s edition and to the contention that Mayor Jenny Durkan has done more than any previous Seattle mayor.

LETTER: Reader urges support for Asians amid virus fear

March 12, 2020 By Northwest Asian Weekly

As a single Black father, I have always tried to teach my son lessons about culture, which I was not exposed to until much later in life.

Dear Editor, If and when the sale [of Keiro] is complete and all debts are paid off, is the leftover money going to be invested in Nikkei Manor?

LETTER: Time to celebrate?

November 15, 2019 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Hiroshi Eto The stereotype of the quiet and demure Asian is bothersome to be sure. People expect Asians to be quiet and compliant. We often get ‘mansplaining’ about Asian virtues of not tooting our own horn or how the nail that sticks up gets hammered down. If I were to point to a ‘cause’, […]
