The beating heart of Seattle's Asian population.
International District has a high violent crime rate and a high property crime rate for Seattle.
Previously known as Seattle's Chinatown, the International District (or just "ID" to locals) is still the heart of the city's Asian American culture and cuisine. In addition to a Chinese presence, today you'll find Vietnamese, Japanese, Malay, Filipino, Cambodian stores and restaurants as well. This neighborhood is now also home to Japantown and Little Saigon.
This cultural hub has attractions like the Wing Luke Asian Museum, a Smithsonian-affiliated institution that hosts exhibitions on the Asian American experience, or the Uwajimaya market, which includes an Asian grocery store, food court, bookstore, and restaurants.
This neighborhood can be a bit rough around the edges but investment is pouring in…sometimes controversially as long-time residents fear it will drive up prices. Apartment and condo buildings provide most of the housing stock.
ID is bordered on the north by First Hill and Downtown Seattle, on the east by Central District, on the south by Beacon Hill and Industrial District, and on the west by Pioneer Square.
