Boarded up storefronts in Chinatown - International District after forced removal of Japanese Americans, Seattle, June 1942
Order an ImageThe exclusion of Seattle's Japanese families by the federal government during World War II changed the city in numerous ways. Among the more obvious signs were the shuttered and boarded up Japanese businesses along Main, Jackson and upper King Streets. Many of the families who managed or worked in the stores and shops never returned to the city after they left the incarceration camps.
