Why we're gathering A launch, over a shared table

CareMakers Collective is a creative community hub where refugee and immigrant women stitch, care, and rise, turning reclaimed materials, artistic expression, and caregiving skills into economic independence, belonging, and leadership.

October 14 marks the official launch of CareMakers Collective, a new nonprofit in Seattle's Chinatown–International District. Join us for dim sum, meet the women bringing this work to life, and hear about our innovative hub, where creativity takes shape and new opportunities are made. We'll share our vision for the future, what we're raising funds to build, and how you can be our inaugural champions.

Getting there Diamond Bay Restaurant

409 8th Ave S, Seattle — in the Chinatown–International District.

Transit

The Chinatown–International District Link light rail station is a short walk away, and several bus routes serve S Jackson Street. Transit is the easiest way in on a weekday afternoon.

Parking

Paid street parking and several pay lots and garages serve the neighborhood. Street parking fills quickly midday, so allow a little extra time or plan on a lot.

Access

If step-free access, seating placement, interpretation, or anything else would make the afternoon easier, note it on the reservation form or email info@caremakers.org — we'll confirm the details with the restaurant and follow up with you directly.
