Arts & Culture
"The Wing" is located in The International District, together with Pioneer Square is part of early Seattle. The museum has excellent programming, beside well curated changing exhibits, including modern art by Asian Americans, the permanent exhibition that highlights a dark time in American history, when Japanese Americans were interned in camps —since they looked like the enemy— is of great importance. When there, pay a visit to The Panama Hotel Lounge, place of action for scenes in "Corner of Bitter and Sweet".
