EDITORIAL: AAPI representation at the Oscars
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
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.

EDITORIAL: A good start, thanks Mayor Harrell
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: Jenny Durkan’s legacy
Jenny Durkan has left City Hall… and a legacy of being in charge during an unprecedented time.

When people avoided the Chinatown-International District (CID) in droves from the […]

EDITORIAL: CID problems falling on deaf ears?
Social media is abuzz since a Dec. 3 editorial in The Seattle Times, announcing that “Seattle and King County have deserted Little Saigon.” “Centered a few blocks around 12th Avenue South and South Jackson Street, Little Saigon is beset with overflowing trash cans, litter, dirty sidewalks, and open-air drug dealing,” it read.
