A stay at the Panama connects you to yesteryear - the way accommodations were typically set up with shared facilities and engaging inn keepers. Submerging into the sad past of the internment of Japanese Americans during WW2 enriched our stay to Seattle. Awesome cafe full of charm and delightful staff on the ground floor. Cool community garden across the street. The nearby neighborhood is a little sketchy. We didn’t feel unsafe but the area was unclean and unnecessary noise from the street.
