"Built in 1910, the historic Panama Hotel and its cafe were once the center of life in Seattle’s old Japantown; the cafe offers a lovely atmosphere for tea where you can resteep a pot of Japanese green tea for hours, and the hotel provides free tours of the sento (Japanese bathhouse) alongside vintage photographs and unclaimed personal belongings of residents forced to flee during World War II — a sobering, necessary reminder of the costs of unchecked xenophobia and racism." - Jackie Varriano
