​Tours through the Wing Luke Museum

We all need food to survive. More than that: we need healthy, delicious foods that connect us to our heritage. Fresh food nourishes our bodies and keeps us strong. But what does it take to sustain a community? We have to learn to plant seeds, tend the soil. Ever fed a chicken before?

The roots of this neighborhood extend deep into Seattle’s history and the history of the Pacific Northwest. Immigrants and refugees have made this place home for more than 150 years, carving out a future for themselves and their families. The history of the Danny Woo Community Garden reveals how food, culture and soil sustain the neighborhood, reflect the health of a community and support generations of residents. The Garden represents a significant piece of Chinatown-International District history, and is an important stop on Wing Luke Museum’s neighborhood walking tours.

Our tours give school children, college students, professionals and the general public insight into the fabric of the neighborhood. We lead several educational tours throughout the district; many take a direct walk to the Garden to begin the story. Tour content varies, but we cover:
  • History of the neighborhood gardens
  • How growing fresh foods helps build a community
  • Nihonmachi and the history on Main Street 
  • Food Security
  • Parks and Gardens: Exploring Danny Woo and Chiyo’s Gardens
… and more.

To bring your students or to find out how to join our daily tours, please visit wingluke.org/tours or call 206.623.5124 ext. 133.
