Location of The Seattle Dojo
Until 1934, the Seattle Dojo was located in the basements of various Japantown hotels. The current structure was built during the spring of 1934. Its architect was Kichio "Allen" Arai, whose better known designs include the Seattle Buddhist Church, the Yakima Buddhist Church, the Idaho-Oregon Buddhist Temple, and the White River Buddhist Temple.
The building is of frame construction, and its only unusual feature is that its floor is mounted on truck springs, thereby literally giving it spring.

Famous quotes containing the word seattle:
“The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath—the beast, the tree, the man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he is numb to the stench.”
—Attributed to Seattle (c. 1784–1866)
