The Filipino American Kiosk, located at the southwest corner of 6th Avenue South and South King Street in Seattle's Chinatown International District, honors the contributions and community-building efforts of Filipino Americans in the Pacific Northwest. Dedicated in November 2012, the kiosk features a map of historic Filipino businesses and images celebrating local leaders, including Robert "Uncle Bob" Santos, who was recognized for his commitment to social justice and affordable housing.

This memorial not only highlights the rich history of Filipino Americans but also acknowledges the significance of Historic Filipino Town within the broader narrative of the Chinatown International District. The kiosk serves as a cultural landmark, reflecting the enduring legacy and influence of the Filipino community in Seattle.
