Up in Tacoma, where we go for our Chicago style meals, a few blocks down there is a huge Asian section of town, with grocery stores, touristy type stores, and loads of restaurants...I think its mainly VietNamese....we have never gone to the restaurants, but have it on our list of places to go...

We have lots of great Chinese restaurants, along with Cambodian, Laotian, Vietnamese and Japanese, simply because so many of them immigrate here from Asia, and many remain in this area, rather than going to other parts of the country....

The various ethnic communities are already in place, which makes it easier for them to integrate in, and they are really quite successful...they start many different businesses, one of the main ones being restaurants...they also are very successful up at the Pike Street Market, the woman making some of the most beautiful quilted items I have ever seen....

Seattle, and Tacoma, to a lesser degree are really international communities, and have the restaurants to show for that...makes for goooood eats...

My dad died in 1989....he was interested in everything, and was an avid reader and amateur investigator into everything...he would have been thrilled with the internet, and the ability to find anything and everything online...

But alas, he died, before the internet took off...but had he been alive when the internet was taking off, mom would have had to pry him offline...he would have never left voluntarily....LOL....he loved information, of any sort...and loved to read and to learn...
