Default Any Japanese influenced towns?

Hi there, I really love Japanese culture, and I just wondered if there were any places in WA that had any influences of such. Architecture, historical farms, immigrant communities, restaurants....

I'm not interested in big metro areas really - such as the Seattle International district. Actually, I'm more in to moderately sized towns (small cities?).

I'm also looking around Oregon too.

Bellevue could work, but it's probably too big.

Closest thing I can think of that meets your criteria is Bellingham, WA. It has a decent amount of Japanese restaurants and it's only several hours from Vancouver, BC, which has a sizable Japanese community.

Good luck with your search.

see if these might have the information you're looking for....have you considered Japan? Sorry to say that so plainly.. Yet after WWII, I think most Japanese/Japanese Americans have assimilated into the american culture. Yet, keeping alive the tranditions they held dear.
