June 4, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

To the Editor: [I would like to] thank [Mark Lee] for [his] article about Susan Hutchison, candidate for King County Executive (which appeared in issue 23 on May 23).

In response to Mark Lee’s “Hutchison” column …

June 4, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly

To the Editor: Mr. Mark Lee seems to either forget or ignore the recent history and events preceding this lawsuit in making his assumption that race was not a factor in considering the choice of Kristy Lee to replace Susan Hutchison.

March 19, 2009 By Northwest Asian Weekly
