Tells the past and possible futures of two blocks of buildings that form the heart of Chinatown in Seattle. Recounts the history of Chinese immigration to Seattle and the restrictive immigration policies that, for decades, caused the Chinese population to be chiefly single men who needed a center for their lives. These buildings have filled those needs in various ways, first as labor clearing-houses, stores, and lodging, and currently as stores and homes for family and cultural organization.
