"China Harbor, a prominent restaurant in Seattle, is known for hosting a variety of events such as banquets, political rallies, and speed dating. The restaurant, located on the edge of Lake Union, has been a popular destination for dim sum over the last several years. However, it will permanently close after September due to challenges like inflation, rising labor costs, and a previous temporary closure in 2021 for building repairs. The building has a rich history, having started as an Elks Club in the 1960s, and became China Harbor in 1994, gaining popularity for its events and eventually its food under new ownership in 2019. The restaurant's chef, Danna Hwang, introduced new dishes that improved its culinary reputation." - Harry Cheadle
