SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
The history of Asian residents in Seattle runs deep. Chinese started settling here in about 1850, followed shortly by waves of Japanese and – in the 1960s – Koreans. The apartment building that accommodates this penthouse stands near Pioneer Square, which anchored one end of Nihonmachi, a thriving Japanese neighborhood for 50 years beginning in the 1880s. The wife of the couple who owns the penthouse is also Korean.
