Historical Note:Â
The Panama Hotel and Tea Room is a rare surviving example of a Japanese-style public bathhouse and boardinghouse that served Seattleâs Nihonmachi (Japantown). It gained literary prominence in Jamie Fordâs novel Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet, where it notes hidden histories of Japanese American families forced into internment camps during World War II.
