Where to meet Asian Single Girls and Guys in 30- early 40s in Kings County (Seattle: real estate)

[sleeplesspeach]

I want to move here part time. How to meet quality friend to hang out.
Girls or guy.
Is there some club, association, forum, bbs?
Where do Asian singles hang out. How to meet people to start as a newbie in Seattle.
A real estate told me in East side. True or false?
Does it, can it not, have to be in bar/club scene?

By "Asian" are you referring to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, etc.?

I'm southeast Asian but from what I've noticed, the Eastside suburbs are where more "Asians" (as you described) reside. Sammamish has tons of them, and Redmond, Bellevue, Issaquah, etc. have a good number as well. Most of the folks in this area work in IT jobs. I'd think the best way to get to know people are through churches or community groups.

The southern suburbs (Federal Way, Renton, Kent) also have a good number of Asians. The demographic is different from the Eastside Asians, as most live in lower-income, working-class communities.

My family originates from the Middle East, which is consider Asia, does that count? Or, are you refer to Indians, which is South Asia?

Asians from Taiwan and HK in particular

What do you mean by 'community group'

Ah ha.. What about Chinese?? Or, are you not particular to those from the Mainland?

Very few HK and Taiwanese in Seattle. But the Taiwanese appear to have a more open social scene:

Taiwanese MeetUp group Taiwanese Meetups near Seattle, Washington - Meetup

Taiwanese Professionals Club TAP-Seattle

Though, let's be honest: the vast majority of Chinese speakers you will meet in Seattle are from the mainland or American-born Chinese who know a few phrases but not really the language or know the culture. If I were you, I wouldn't worry about whether someone is from the mainland or not and just be friends. The USA is where old rivalries and issues are supposed to be left behind. Or, at least, steps taken to stop the prejudice. In theory.
