Sadako’s Legacy Reborn in Seattle

Seattle’s Peace Park is getting a fresh tribute to Sadako Sasaki, the Hiroshima survivor who became a global peace icon by folding 1,000 paper cranes. After her original bronze statue was stolen in 2024, a new sculpture honoring her vibrant, joyful spirit — as remembered by her classmates now in their 80s — will be unveiled in August 2027. This powerful project, championed by park ranger Floyd Schmoe, ensures Sadako’s message of peace endures, proving her legacy still inspires generations.
