Welcome back to a new year! We have several plans for the year featuring Japanese American history in Tacoma. Look for us at a Downtown on the Go! walking tour in early May, and for another Day of Remembrance that month as well.
We’re delighted that Tacoma’s Japanese American history is a featured prompt in this year’s brand-new historical fiction writing contest for teens.
In the meantime, look for more updates to our Japantown walking tour app (here for iOS devices, here for Android), to the resource-list-in-progress for more historical sources, and more links to Tacoma’s Japanese American history in stories and photos. We’ll be updating these more frequently, especially with February’s upcoming Day of Remembrance events.
