“It’s remarkable that the Asian Weekly is celebrating their 30th anniversary. The paper not only keeps the community informed of what’s going in the Asian community, but it also helps to educate the legislature to be aware of the issues important to the community.”
— Sen. Paull Shin
“As an active member of the education and civic engagement community, I am so thankful that the Northwest Asian Weekly provides the much-needed news coverage of Asian Pacific Americans. Asian, Pacific, and Native Americans make up 10 percent of Washington state population and 8 percent of business owners in Washington State. And yet, too often, the challenges and success stories of Asian Americans go unnoticed by mainstream media. Asian Americans are the ultimate swing voters and will be the margin of victory in many key races in November 2012. Thank you Northwest Asian Weekly for being our voice during such historic times!”
— Suzanne Pak, CEO immersion FORCE
“Over the past 30 years, the NW Asian Weekly has provided a community voice and perspective, let us consider what accomplishments and challenges faces our communities as we look ahead another 30 years.”
— King County Assessor Lloyd Hara
“The Asian Weekly means I am not alone. It means I have a community and network of people who share my culture and who are fighting to be represented. There is a sense of unity that comes with having the Asian Weekly. Instead of Asians trying to fit into the mainstream, together we are paving our own path, making a bold statement saying that we are proud of who we are and we deserve to be heard.”
