LETTER: A letter to the County Council and Executive
Posted on 24 January 2013.
In 2012, we honored the groundbreaking contributions of former Seattle Councilmember Cheryl Chow and in 2008 the first and only Asian American King County Councilmember Ruby Chow, who retired 28 years ago. These two trailblazing leaders remind us how much difference one person can make. Asian and Pacific Islanders make up 15.8% of King County [...]

LETTER: Inslee forgets Asian Americans
Posted on 22 November 2012.
Dear Editor, I’m extremely disappointed that an Asian American was not chosen to be one of Inslee’s co-chairs, especially when Asian Americans supported him in large numbers, as they did for Obama. Also, we’re the largest minority group in Seattle and King County, and he carried King County with our help. Again, it perpetuates the [...]

Posted on 20 March 2012.
To the Editor: [Last month,] there were firecrackers and dragon dances at a ceremony on Maynard. When the firecrackers malfunctioned just a little, a middle-aged man stood too close … and was nearly hurt by the furious finale explosion.

Posted on 28 February 2012.
To the Editor: I’d just like to say thank you to the robbery witness (in the page 2 story of last week’s issue, “Woman robbed in Chinatown, loses $2,000 and passport”) for stepping up to be a good citizen in helping the victim and the police in tracking down the perpetrators in this robbery incident.

Posted on 31 January 2012.
Editor’s note: This is an edited version of a longer letter that was sent to Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn by Chinatown-International District business owners and community leaders. Dear Mayor McGinn, We are writing to ask for your help — the extension of paid on-street parking hours from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Chinatown-International [...]

LETTER: Commentary about Korean unification isn’t realistic
Posted on 24 January 2012.
To the Editor: Dr. Vernasius T. Tandia’s commentary (Jan. 7, 2012) regarding stereotypes harbored by South Koreans toward North Korean refugees among them, and the way that these stereotypes harm hope for reunification enlists the reader in the call for an idealizing and accommodating vision about North Korea that doesn’t seem at all realistic about [...]

LETTER: Story about LIHI’s dispute with SeaSol did not reveal all
Posted on 11 November 2011.
Editor: On Nov. 3, the Northwest Asian Weekly ran an article on the dispute between George Berumen working with the Seattle Solidarity Network, and the Low Income Housing Institute and its executive director, Sharon Lee. The article, “LIHI’s Sharon Lee and SeaSol clash over $99,” did not fully represent the position of SeaSol.

LETTER: Make your voice heard at city hall
Posted on 04 October 2011.
To the Editor: The Mayor McGinn’s proposal to move activities away from the ID/Chinatown Community Center to Jefferson and Rainier Community Centers effectively removes the opportunity for young people and seniors who live in the ID to have an accessible place for activities.

Letter: Dumbfounded by ‘Speak English, not Chinese!’ blog
Posted on 17 March 2011.
I, for one, was dumbfounded to have read in heavy print, NW Asian Weekly Publisher’s blog, “Please Speak English, Not Chinese!” (in last week’s March 12–18 issue).

Letter: Good and bad of immigration reform tangled together
