OUR MISSION
Founded in 1994 by local businesses and property owners, the Chinatown-International District Business Improvement Area (CIDBIA) is one of ten business improvement areas in Seattle. The CIDBIA works to improve and promote Seattle’s historic Chinatown-International District as a welcoming, clean, and safe neighborhood through sanitation coordination, public safety coordination, marketing and events, and advocating for general quality of life issues.
The CIDBIA is primarily funded through a self-imposed assessment on local businesses and property owners, and supplements but does not replace government services in the neighborhood.
