In Seattle, for many Asian migrants, Chinatown-International District (also known by its initials CID) is our home away from home. Located on Coast Salish lands in Seattle, the CID is a diverse multiracial community, including many immigrants from across Asia, many Indigenous, Black, and Latine communities; and working-class people of all backgrounds. The city government estimates that residents in the neighborhood speak 17 languages in addition to English, the most common being Mandarin, Cantonese, and Vietnamese.
