C.A.C.A. Annual Fred Yee Citizen Award
 
 
The Chinese
American Citizens Alliance
Seattle Lodge held its 14th
Annual Banquet on June 1, 2025,
5:30pm at Seattle Harbor
(formerly China Harbor) to
celebrate the 2025 Fred Yee
Citizenship Award honorees -
Mary Knell, Tim Louie, and Kin
On – for their leadership and
service to communities of
Seattle. We also announced the
winners of the Seattle awards
for the C.A.C.A. National Essay
contest.
Fred was a
tireless community volunteer and
healthcare advocate in the API
community. In August 2018, the
Chinese American Citizens
Alliance Seattle Lodge decided
to rename the award as the Fred
Yee Citizens Award in honor of
our beloved member who passed
away August 7, 2018. Fred was
our board member since he joined
in 2014 and served as National
Representative. His guidance was
key to our successful 2015
National Convention. He attended
the 2017 National Convention in
Chicago and met with the
C.A.C.A. delegation at the 2018
Golden Spike Conference in Salt
Lake City.
In a few short
years, Fred became an
influential contributor to
C.A.C.A., both locally and
nationally. He offered his time,
knowledge of the community's
needs and effort to unite
organizations in service to the
community. He embodied
C.A.C.A.'s mission of
leadership, service, and
promotion of civil rights.
 
 
 
 
Mary Knell, CEO and
head of Wells Fargo Pacific Northwest and
Western Canada Commercial Banking. She is
an active community volunteer and leader
and serves on multiple boards including
the UW Foster Business School Advisory
Board. Mary is the recipient of many
prestigious awards for her work and
leadership including the Diversity at the
Top Award presented by the Northwest Asian
Weekly. She has supported C.A.C.A.
Seattle's Rice Drive and the Costco
Chicken Drive organized by Jerry Lee.
Tim Louie, Scoutmaster
of Boy Scout Troop #254 which is over 100
years old. He started out as a boy scout
in 1971, earning the rank of Eagle Scout.
He has been involved ever since, taking
over as Scoutmaster when his good friend
Glen Wong stepped down, and continuing the
mission of mentoring boys into men. Tim
also ran the family business, Tsue Chong,
supporting many community events with
donations of delicious Tsue Chong fortune
cookies.
Kin On has been
providing healthcare solutions and aging
services for Asian elders and their
families for 40 years. In 1985, Kin On
launched the nation’s first bilingual
Chinese American nursing home catering to
the unique cultural and dietary needs of
Asian elders. Over the years, Kin On
continues to expand, offering home care,
caregiver support services, assisted
living apartments and Healthy Living
classes. Today, Kin On is on a path of
continual growth, expanding both the range
and types of services throughout the Puget
Sound region.
