Designed in 1910 by Seattle’s first Japanese American architect, Sabro Ozaki, the property serves as a living record of Japanese American history in the Pacific Northwest. Guests can stay in the original single room occupancy hotel or drop into the adjoining Panama Hotel Tea & Coffee for teas, local coffee, and pastries.
