January 13 Korean American Day 2008Attending the First Annual Korean American Day was a great honor. Thousands of Korean American's and family filled the capital building in Olympia. All four floors of the capital building were full of people trying to catch a glimpse of the celebration below.
I really enjoyed seeing older Korean Men and Women celebrating, as this was a very proud moment for them all. Enormous proud smiles on many as they heard Korean songs and watched dancers and drummers do traditional Korean dances in front of diplomats and state representatives.
The most represented age at this event was probably teenagers and youngsters with second being the elder Koreans. Everyone was amazed at the turnout and plans for next year will take this years' number of participants into account.
I was also moved by the singing of the American and Korean National anthems. It was apparent there were many more Korean participants at this event when the singing of both anthems was completed. This should become a tradition at all KIDS events.
Please see the album of pictures for this event.

It wouldn't be a legal holiday that would close schools, banks and government offices, but the Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs would help coordinate events across the state to celebrate the contributions of the state's third-largest ethnic population, said Sen. Paull Shin, D-Edmonds.
At last count, the state had 46,000 native Koreans and Korean Americans. {2007 numbers}
Shin, who was born in South Korea, said both the U.S. Congress and the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea have given recognition to the day, which commemorates the arrival of Korean immigrants in Honolulu in 1903. Washington is the first state to pass a law creating the "honorary state holiday," Shin said September 25 Links on Adoption
