East Kong Yick Building : ウィキペディア英語版 | East Kong Yick Building
The East Kong Yick Building () is one of two buildings erected in Seattle, Washington's Chinatown-International District ("the ID") by the Kong Yick Investment Company (the other being the West Kong Yick Building). A four-story hotel in the core of the ID, with retail stores at ground level, the East Kong Yick was created by the pooled resources of 170 Chinese American pioneers. Largely unoccupied in recent years, it reopened its doors as the home of the expanded Wing Luke Asian Museum. ==Kong Yick Investment Company==
In 1910 Goon Dip, a prominent businessman in Seattle's Chinese American community,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Seattle's Chinatown/International District )〕 led a group of Chinese American pioneers to form the Kong Yick Investment Company. (name of the company, Kong Yick (公益)〔 See Kong Yick business records 〕 loosely means "mutual benefit." ) With no financial backing from a bank, the investment company pooled money from approximately 170 Chinese American community members to fund the construction of two twin buildings that would serve as the anchor of a "new" Chinatown. Members of the investment company lived not only in Seattle but throughout the Pacific Northwest, making the Kong Yick Buildings a landmark for the Chinese community.
