Japanese Langauge School Memorial Garden

• The University of Washington Tacoma plans to build a memorial garden to preserve the heritage of the Japanese Language School, including the legacy of culture, integrity and citizenship inspired by the school's principal, and a poignant episode of U.S. history when entire communities were placed in internment camps. This garden is planned for the vacant lot between Market Street and Court C at 19th Street (next to the Court 17 Apartments). Preliminary plans have been drawn up and the university is currently in the process of raising the $2.5 million needed from private donors to create the garden.
