EDITORIAL: AAPIs, speak up!

May 5, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

The Japanese language program at Lindbergh High School in Renton was saved from the chopping block, as we reported last week. On this Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, it feels appropriate to call attention to the threat that would have eliminated this very popular program. It’s a threat—though it no longer remains […]

EDITORIAL: When does the pain end?

April 28, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Size matters—especially in Seattle’s Chinatown-International District (CID). Especially now that the neighborhood is under threat again—this time by a Sound Transit project to expand a transit hub, and possibly shutting down part of the CID for up to a decade. Two options are on the table and community advocates fear that if Sound Transit chooses […]

EDITORIAL: Where is Biden’s AAPI Secretary?

April 21, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

President Obama had Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, and Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki. President Clinton had Commerce Secretary Norm Mineta, who later became Transportation Secretary under George W. Bush. There was also Labor Secretary Elaine Chao—who was later brought back by President Trump as Transportation Secretary. But under President Biden—crickets. Though […]

EDITORIAL: AAPI representation at the Oscars

March 31, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Let’s talk about the Oscars… and not the thing that social media wants to talk about. Youn Yuh-Jung, who became the first Korean actress to win an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2021, appeared as a presenter for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. She wore a UN Refugee Agency blue ribbon pin […]

EDITORIAL: We need our safety back — Violence against Asians still rampant

March 24, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

A year after the fatal shootings at three Georgia massage businesses, crowds gathered at rallies across the country last week to remember the victims and denounce anti-Asian violence that has risen sharply in recent years. Six women of Asian descent were among the eight people killed in and near Atlanta on March 16, 2021. The […]

EDITORIAL: A good start, thanks Mayor Harrell

March 17, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

It’s an almost unfamiliar, but welcome, scene, and a stark contrast from what a Seattle Times editorial once described as a place “overflowing trash cans, litter, dirty sidewalks, and open-air drug dealing.” It’s a whole new world at 12th Avenue South and South Jackson Street in Little Saigon, in the Chinatown-International District (CID), thanks in […]

EDITORIAL: Have yourself a #VeryAsian Lunar New Year

January 27, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

A TV viewer told anchor Michelle Li to “keep her Korean to herself.” The Emmy-winning broadcast journalist who once worked at KING 5 in Seattle did a short segment in early January on KSDK-TV in St. Louis, Missouri—about things people eat for New Year’s Day. She mentioned that she, and others who are of Korean […]

EDITORIAL: Out with the old…

January 20, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Sleeves rolled up, all hands on deck. Nearly 150 volunteers, or “Change Agents,” as organizer Linh Thai called them, turned up for Operation Clean Street in Little Saigon on Jan. 15. It was a combined effort of The Mission Continues, Friends of Little Saigon, and the City of Seattle. Donned in KN95 masks, safety gloves, […]

EDITORIAL: Jenny Durkan’s legacy

January 6, 2022 By Northwest Asian Weekly

Jenny Durkan has left City Hall… and a legacy of being in charge during an unprecedented time. While we didn’t agree 100% with all the decisions she made, we applaud her for her swift action in dealing with what would become a global pandemic. When people avoided the Chinatown-International District (CID) in droves from the […]
