East Kong Yick Building, Mixed-use museum building in Chinatown-International District, Seattle, United States.

The East Kong Yick Building spans four floors with retail spaces on ground level and former hotel rooms in upper sections.

In 1910, 170 Chinese pioneers collectively funded the construction of this building after the previous Chinatown was destroyed in the Great Seattle Fire.

The Wing Luke Museum occupies the building since 2008, presenting exhibitions about Asian American history and maintaining original immigrant living spaces.

Visitors can access the historical sections through guided tours included in museum admission, with public transit stops nearby at 8th Avenue South.

The building contains preserved elements from 1910, including an original shop, small bedrooms, and a top floor meeting room with tin ceilings.
