华人社区：西雅图唐人街揭牌「李小龙路」 市府定10月16日为「李小龙路日」 李香凝到场
位于华盛顿州国王县的西雅图市，据《西雅图时报》10 月 17 日报道，西雅图唐人街国际区的南金街（South King Street）与梅纳德大道（Maynard Avenue South）路口 10 月 16 日（周五）举行揭牌仪式，正式命名为「李小龙路」（Bruce Lee Way）。揭牌地点在庆喜公园（Hing Hay Park）旁，李小龙的家人、学生与支持者到场，现场有醒狮表演。
西雅图副市长 Brian Surratt 在现场宣读官方声明，将 10 月 16 日定为「李小龙路日」（Bruce Lee Way Day）。他还开玩笑地向湾区隔空喊话：「很多人以为旧金山才是李小龙的归宿，但我得说——不，李小龙属于西雅图，西雅图就是李小龙！」市议会此前已通过这项荣誉命名决议，决议由市议员埃迪·林（Eddie Lin）提出；据 KOMO 报道，获命名的路段为第 6 大道南与梅纳德大道南之间的南金街。
李小龙之女、李小龙基金会主席李香凝（Shannon Lee）代表未能出席的母亲 Linda Lee Cadwell 到场，脚穿一双亮黄色运动鞋，致敬父亲在遗作《死亡游戏》中的标志性黄黑战袍。她说：「53 年过去了，我们依然受到启发，依然感到振奋，依然在庆祝。我太喜欢它发生在唐人街这个社区、这个公园里了。是一个社区促成了这件事，也是一个社区聚在一起庆祝它。」
路名的主要推动者、振藩国术馆成员 Abe Santos 说：「李小龙不仅仅是一个街牌。这是对一个用哲学、教导和精神持续影响全球几代人的人，所做出的永久致敬。」他发起的众筹为街牌制作与安装筹集了 7,000 美元。唐人街国际区商业改善区（CID BIA）的 Y.K. Zhou 表示：「在我们成长的那个时代，好莱坞几乎看不到什么亚裔的面孔。有李小龙这样一个人打破偏见，把华人社区推向世界舞台，这种影响是不可估量。」
报道回顾，李小龙 1959 年、18 岁时来到西雅图，曾在唐人街的 Ruby Chow's 餐馆当侍应生，在华盛顿大学学习哲学，1960 年在西雅图创立振藩国术馆（Jun Fan Gung Fu club）；他的挚友与学生木村武之（Taky Kimura）在他离开后仍在西雅图传授其武学。李小龙逝世后长眠于西雅图的湖景陵园（Lake View Cemetery）。

Seattle Unveils "Bruce Lee Way" in the Chinatown-International District; City Proclaims October 16 Bruce Lee Way Day as Shannon Lee Attends
Seattle is a city in King County, Washington. The intersection of South King Street and Maynard Avenue South in Seattle's Chinatown-International District was officially named "Bruce Lee Way" at an unveiling ceremony on Friday, October 16, next to Hing Hay Park, the Seattle Times reported on October 17. Bruce Lee's family, students and supporters attended, and the ceremony featured a lion dance.
Deputy Mayor Brian Surratt read an official proclamation at the event designating October 16 as "Bruce Lee Way Day." He also joked to the Bay Area: "Many people think San Francisco is Bruce Lee's home, but I have to say — no, Bruce Lee belongs to Seattle; Seattle is Bruce Lee!" The City Council had earlier approved the honorary designation in a resolution sponsored by Councilmember Eddie Lin; according to KOMO, the designated stretch is South King Street between 6th Avenue South and Maynard Avenue South.
Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee's daughter and chair of the Bruce Lee Foundation, attended on behalf of her mother, Linda Lee Cadwell, wearing bright yellow sneakers in tribute to her father's iconic yellow-and-black tracksuit in his final film, Game of Death. "Fifty-three years later, we are still inspired, still energized, still celebrating," she said. "I love that this is happening in this neighborhood, in this park, in Chinatown. A community made this happen, and a community has come together to celebrate it."
Abe Santos of the Jun Fan Gung Fu Academy, the campaign's leading advocate, said: "Bruce Lee is not just a street sign. This is a permanent tribute to a man who continues to influence generations around the world with his philosophy, his teachings and his spirit." A crowdfunding campaign he led raised $7,000 to cover the cost of making and installing the signs. Y.K. Zhou of the Chinatown-International District Business Improvement Area (CID BIA) said: "In the era we grew up in, you hardly saw any Asian faces in Hollywood. For someone like Bruce Lee to break that prejudice and push the Chinese community onto the world stage — that impact is immeasurable."
Lee arrived in Seattle in 1959 at age 18, worked as a server at the Chinatown restaurant Ruby Chow's, studied philosophy at the University of Washington, and founded the Jun Fan Gung Fu club in Seattle in 1960, the reports recalled. His close friend and student Taky Kimura continued teaching Lee's martial arts in Seattle after Lee left. Lee is buried at Lake View Cemetery in Seattle.
