This was the second Lunar New Year that West Seattle High School‘s AAPI Club and Chinese Program invited the community to a big party. Tonight’s celebration started with performances in the WSHS Theater:

This was the second of our area’s three big Lunar New Year events to which community members were invited – the third one is tomorrow at the Seattle Chinese Garden.
