“Amazing museum about Asian-American, Pacific Islander American, and Native Hawaiian heritage, history, and culture.
Everyone should visit to know more about Washington State, US history, and the roots of all who have immigrated to the US. They do fantastic work celebrating and educating. As a history educator, I find their exhibits to be deeply engaging for myself and my students. Their staff are courteous, knowledgeable, professional, and love the community.”

“We very much enjoyed our trip to the Wing Luke today! The space is beautiful and the exhibits are thoughtful. Overall, our visit was enhanced by the great tour of the historically preserved store and hotel spaces.
Would recommend for first-time visitors as an introduction to the CID and its history. And to cap it off they have the best museum gift shop!”
