Local civil rights organizations are calling for more help and resources to combat violence impacting Asian American Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander communities in Washington. They say the racist vandalism that recently struck the historic Wing Luke Museum in Seattle's Chinatown-International District highlights deeper concerns among neighborhoods with Asian American residents.

"It was so loud that it was actually shaking the seats in the theater," said Stan Shikuma, Co-President of the Japanese American Citizens League Greater Seattle Chapter.
