SEATTLE – A new study has found that almost two in five Asian residents across King, Snohomish, and Pierce counties have experienced anti-Asian hate within the past year. A report conducted by The Asian American Foundation (TAAF) found that close to 40% of Asian people in the city report experiencing hate within the last year. The report highlights various forms of harassment, including name-calling, threats, and physical violence, sparking concerns about safety within Seattle’s Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) communities.
