Looking for authentic Asian food? Head down to Seattle’s International District. Home to a wide range of restaurants and just a couple of stops south on the light rail from the convention center, this is the place to go for noodles, dumplings, and other Asian fare. The International District is also home to Uwajimaya, a massive Asian grocery store and Seattle institution for almost 100 years.
