About This Building
Tobira is a mid-rise condominium building in Seattle's International District. The name 'Tobira' -- meaning 'door' or 'gate' in Japanese -- reflects the neighborhood's deep Japantown heritage, rooted in the Nihonmachi district established by Japanese immigrants in the early 20th century and maintained as a living cultural community despite the forced displacement of Japanese Americans during World War II.
The International District encompasses Chinatown, Japantown (Nihonmachi), and Little Saigon, forming one of Seattle's most culturally diverse and historically layered neighborhoods. Residential buildings like Tobira are part of the ownership housing stock that has grown alongside the neighborhood's retail, cultural, and institutional fabric.
The neighborhood is served by International District/Chinatown Link light rail station, providing direct access to Downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, the University District, and Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Nearby amenities include Uwajimaya, one of the largest Asian grocery retailers in the Pacific Northwest, as well as a dense concentration of Asian restaurants, bakeries, and cultural institutions.
