Seattle's International District

Seattle International Rotary Club is located within the International District. Bordering downtown Seattle to the south, the International District hosts a thriving Asian community with specialized retail stores, restaurants, museums, theaters, monuments and parks.
The Chinatown International District lies slightly south of Seattle's historic downtown core. It is the only place in the continental United States where Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, African Americans, and Vietnamese have settled within one neighborhood. The district, built on reclaimed tidal flats in 1910, became the cultural hub of the Asian-American community in the early decades of the 20th century.
The Seattle International Rotary Club is closely linked with the communities and institutions of the International District. Organizations we have helped through the years include:
