Bainbridge Island incarcerees walking to train, March 30, 1942

Order an Image
On March 30, 1942, the United States Army escorted over 200 Japanese Americans from Bainbridge Island to Seattle. The incarcerees boarded a waiting train which carried them to the Manzanar concentration camp in the California desert. Many were later moved to Minidoka, in Idaho. This was the first exclusion of Japanese Americans from the Pacific Northwest. Manzanar and Minidoka were two of ten large camps operated by the War Relocation Authority in which Japanese Americans were incarcerated during WWII.

This photo, taken March 30, 1942 at the Seattle waterfront, shows Japanese Americans from Bainbridge Island boarding a train for the Manzanar concentration camp in California. Crowds watch from the Marion Street overpass.
