The Wing Luke Asian Museum (WLAM) is the only pan-Asian
American museum in the United States devoted to the collection,
preservation and display of Asian Pacific American culture, history and
art. It was named in honor of Seattle City Council member Wing Luke, the
first Asian American elected official in the Pacific Northwest. After his
tragic death in a 1965 plane crash, the community fulfilled his dream by
establishing a multi-cultural Asian American museum in 1967. WLAM is
housed in a former auto garage.
