We got you. #DidYouKnow that Washington state is just as rich in history and culture as it is in natural beauty? As you dream of summer and start to plan vacations (or staycations for Washington locals!), don't miss these gems in our area: One of 27 affiliated areas of the National Park System, the Wing Luke Museum of the Asian Pacific American Experience celebrates the art, history, and culture of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders. Visitors can take a guided tour of this historic hotel-turned-museum and explore the heart of Seattle's Chinatown-International District. The San Juan Island National Historical Park preserves more than the most extreme international feud over a pig. Visitors can learn about the long and diverse history of San Juan Island at the visitor center, explore trails through prairie and a formal garden, and search for eagles and orcas circling the island. The Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial is a free, outdoor memorial that commemorates the 276 residents of Bainbridge Island that were forcibly removed and imprisoned during World War II because of their Japanese ancestry. The memorial celebrates the Bainbridge Island community that supported their Japanese American neighbors, commemorates a historical injustice, and inspires visitors to be advocates for the civil rights of others. The memorial's motto - "Nidoto Nai Yoni" - means β€œLet it Not Happen Again.” The Seattle unit of Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park commemorates the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897-1898 – a grand adventure that would forever change the people, culture, and environment of Seattle, Alaska, and the Yukon Territory of Canada. The fee-free site is a great place to begin your exploration of Seattle's historic Pioneer Square neighborhood. You can even find out how much you would be worth if you were made of gold! #PlanForVacationDay #PlanLikeAParkRanger ## Stats - **Views:** 0 - **Likes:** 824 - **Shares:** 0 - **Comments:** 6 ## Tags planlikeaparkranger, planforvacationday, didyouknow --- Copyright (c) Gondola
