To welcome the Chinese New Year, I am posting some Chinese reds for Ruby Tuesday.You wouldn't miss something red when you visit a Chinatown anywhere in the world. This is the entrance to Seattle's Chinatown and International District that spans some 44-blocks south of downtown Seattle. The community has Chinese and Japanese gardens, museums, Asian restaurants and stores. I went to the Uwajimaya, one of the largest Asian grocery and gift stores in the Pacific Northwest, looking for some fabric I needed for my presentation. I ended up buying cream puffs.:p

This is the perfect time to go down Chinatown to photograph for all red things, there's plenty there!
I have lots of chinese neighbour, most of them will be hanging the new red lantern to replace the old ones, time for me to go red-hunting! lol

Makes me want to take a trip up to our Chinatown! When the rain stops.....
Beautiful shot and nicely colored gate.
I've read somewhere that the chinese believe red is a lucky color that's why you'll find many red in their shops
When is the chinese new year? I missed the hopia, kikiam, champoy, tikoy etc ^_^
Fish minus chips
one of my favorite community when it comes to food. i need to explore their culture too.
What a familiar scene. I never get tired of the pleasure I receive when I see this entrance to Chinatown. Over the years, it has never diminished.
Very pretty to look at thanks for sharing and happy New Year!
Seattle Chinatown looks very interesting.
Funny, I always think of Seattle as a Nordic town.
Yet the Chinese decorations look very authentic.
