SUMMARY:Tadaima: I'm Home!
DESCRIPTION:After more than 80 years\, a treasured collection returns “home” to Seattle’s Japanese American community. In 1942 dozens of traditional Boys’ and Girls’ Day dolls were entrusted to Bailey Gatzert Elementary School by Japanese American families facing forced incarceration. Most were never reclaimed after the war. Artist Miya Sukune uses recent research in MOHAI’s collection\, as well as portraits Japanese American survivors and their descendants\, to create an installation called “Tadaima\,” meaning “I’m home.” \nTADAIMA: “I’m Home!” Bringing Seattle’s Girls’ and Boys’ Day Dolls Home reconnects the dolls with their traditional role of protecting and blessing children. It invites visitors to celebrate the resilience\, memory\, and enduring traditions of the Japanese American Community.

SUMMARY:Estate Planning\, Wealth\, and Tax Seminar
DESCRIPTION:As the tax landscape continues to evolve\, integrated planning between investment strategy\, tax management\, and estate planning has never been more important. \nIn this free seminar\, our expert panelists will explore how coordinating these three disciplines can help investors improve tax efficiency\, protect long-term wealth\, and position assets for a more effective generational transfer. These developments are particularly important for residents of Washington State\, where recent and proposed legislative changes are reshaping the tax environment. This evolving landscape highlights why a coordinated approach to wealth\, tax\, and estate planning is increasingly critical.\nThoughtful planning today can help investors navigate shifting tax policies\, preserve more of their wealth\, and ensure their financial strategies remain aligned with both current laws and future legislative changes. \nWe hope you’ll join us!

SUMMARY:James K. Okubo Memorial Bench Dedication
DESCRIPTION:James Kazuo Okubo is the only Congressional Medal of Honor recipient from Whatcom County. Yet he remains virtually unknown and unrecognized in the place that nurtured his unbreakable roots as an American citizen with an unquestioned duty to country\, no matter how unjustly he and his fellow Japanese Americans were treated. \nBorn in Anacortes in 1920\, he grew up in Bellingham and graduated from Bellingham High School in 1938 with dreams of becoming a dentist. He was a popular student in his junior year at Western Washington State College when he was unlawfully detained in 1942 and forced to board a bus in front of his home on H St. never to see it again. His large blended family were among the 33 longtime Japanese Americans residents and business owners from Bellingham who were taken to live in an American concentration camp in Tule Lake\, Calif. then transferred to other camps for the remainder of the war. While his family was imprisoned\, he volunteered to serve as a medic in the legendary 442nd Regimental Combat Team of U.S. Army defending the country that put them there. \nHis hero story was legend among the survivors of one of the bloodiest battles on the European front. He died in an accident in Michigan in 1967 – long before President Bill Clinton awarded Congressional Medal of Honor Medals to 22 cited\, but previously unrecognized Asian American and Pacific Islander servicemen in 2000. \nWestern Washington University awarded a posthumous Bachelor of Arts degree to Okubo at Spring Commencement 2019. \nThis bench is the first permanent recognition of Okubo in Whatcom County.
