Vietnamese Martyrs Parish — Local services in Tukwila

It has been more than 20 years since I went to their Hoi Cho (spring fair festival for the Vietnamese New Year) . Comparing to their old location this place in Tukwila is very roomy parking. I happen to come on Friday, which is their slower day compare to the weekend where it would be more crowds. It is nice that it is indoors, the weather in Seattle during February can be rainy. So the show can still go on no matter the weather. Their main hall with the live music has the majority of food vendors. Offering a nice selection of hot food. In the smaller rooms are scenery for photographs and in the hall way and walls there are very beautiful hand painted Tet art. I do miss their outdoor fair. Everyone is welcomed to come and enjoy. This event is great for the entire family, it's kids friendly and great way to connect the Vietnamese Community...

If you’re more of a liberal non-traditional Catholic you might find a home here but for conservative traditional Catholics you’ll need to look...
