MUSEUM GALLERY TOUR
Honoring Our Journey Permanent Exhibition
Our centerpiece exhibition depicts the 200-year story of the immigration and settlement of Asians and Pacific Islanders in
Washington state, from the first Hawaiian settlers to more recent refugees from Southeast Asia. The exhibition includes 10
Asian Pacific American groups and is the only one of its kind in the nation to integrate their many different experiences into a
cohesive story of courage, determination and success.
HISTORIC HOTEL TOUR
The East Kong Yick Building, the current home of the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience, was built
in 1910. Visit the Freeman Hotel, a tenement-style hotel that was last occupied in the 1970s, which has been preserved and is
accessible via guided tours. In addition to the historic hotel, guests will visit the Yick Fung Company storefront which operated
from 1910 until 2008, and an original Chinese Family Association room. Tours last one hour.

Neighborhood tours immerse you in the history, traditions and customs of Asians, and highlight aspects of Seattle’s past and
