The National Trust for Historic Preservation made the announcement on Thursday, making the 104-year-old Panama Hotel the first Seattle building to be so honored. Peering through the glass viewing portals in the floor of the Panama's tearoom, you can see the suitcases and other belongings of local Japanese-Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II. The Puget Sound Business Journal celebrates the news with a slideshow.
