The future of beloved restaurant and bar Bush Garden is uncertain. It sits on land owned by real estate developer Vibrant Cities, which plans to build an apartment complex on the site. On December 6, the Chinatown International District (CID) Coalition organized a Drag Bingo night at Bush Garden, hosted by legendary Seattle drag queen Atasha Manila. Bush Garden has “been a focal point for neighborhood gathering and multiracial organizing for decades,” according to the CID Coalition’s Facebook event page. “Come join us to support local business, build community, and have a fun-filled night of drag, games, and good vibes!”
