Please join us in celebrating the Year of the Dragon at the annual Lunar New Year Banquet and Silent Auction!

Each year, the Seattle chapter holds this banquet to celebrate the start of a new year. The banquet is the chapter's largest fundraiser for AAJA Seattle.

Silent auction proceeds will go toward the Northwest Journalists of Color scholarship, which has supported more than 100 college students since the mid-1980s. Get a sneak peek of some of our Silent Auction items.

This year, the banquet will be held in Seattle at Acquabar, a new Belltown restaurant owned by local Asian American restaurateur David Leong. ALL AGES ARE WELCOME.

We'll have an 8-item dinner, provided by Acquabar Bistro, a full no-host bar, photography booth by Ava Van of Ava Van Photography and a Silent Auction featuring items donated by local businesses and the AAJA community.


KOMO 4 reporter Elizabeth Dinh will emcee the evening's program, which includes a set from up-and-coming Taiwanese American comedian Yola Lu! We'll also have a performance by Trackademics.


At 10 p.m., Acquabar will turn into a club with a live DJ, so bring your dancing shoes and dance the night away with fellow AAJA members!


You don't have to be a journalist or Asian to attend, so please, encourage your friends and colleagues to attend.
