Chinese Community Bulletin Board, Bulletin board in Chinatown-International District, United States
Description
The Chinese Community Bulletin Board is a wooden notice panel mounted on the east exterior wall of the Louisa Hotel at 511 Seventh Avenue South in Seattle. It sits beneath a green and red overhang and displays current announcements and messages for the neighborhood.
History
The board was installed in the 1960s when the Chinese community lacked newspapers printed in their language. It became a Seattle Historic Landmark in 1976 and served as an important connection point for the community.
Culture
The board functions as a gathering point where the Chinese community shares news about local events, job opportunities, and social gatherings. Residents rely on it to stay connected with what is happening in their neighborhood.
Practical
The board is located at an easy-to-spot spot beneath a green and red overhang on a brick wall. You can visit it at any time to see current announcements and get a sense of how the community communicates with itself.
Did you know?
A local television station recognized it as Seattle's first neighborhood communication system, existing decades before modern social networks. This made it an early example of how people shared information without digital technology.
