Fading History: Minidoka National Historic SiteMinidoka National Historic Site is not unique in wanting for adequate funding to protect, and interpret, its history, but it's a clear example of the need that exists.

Bainbridge Island breaks ground for Japanese-American internment memorialSixty-seven years ago, Fumiko Hayashida stood at the Bainbridge Island ferry dock with her husband and two young children, wearing all the clothes she could and leaving the only home she had known, her family's strawberry farm. On Monday, Hayashida, now a spry 98-year-old with a white bob, plans to return to the dock for the groundbreaking of a memorial that commemorates the exile of 227 Japanese Americans from the island on March 30, 1942, with six days' notice. Because of their proximity to naval bases, they were the first Japanese-Americans sent to internment camps. A satellite of the Minidoka Internment National Monument in Idaho, the memorial so far features trails, footbridges, cedar gates and a pavilion that were completed in 2006. The famous picture of her, standing at the dock that morning with 13-month-old daughter Natalie in her arms, has become an iconic symbol of the war. For walk-on ferry passengers from Seattle, free bus service to the site will start at 9:45 a.m. from a park-and-ride near the Winslow terminal. The park-and-ride is located in the lower parking lot of Bethany Lutheran Church, at High School Road and Sportsman Club Road.
