This is relaxing

Thanks for the tour. It's funny, this just popped up on youtube without any request from me. You see, there was a Japanese American farming community living there before WW2. My mother was born there in early 1910s. She and her sister were among the first group of Japanese Americans to enter and graduate from University of Washington 1930s. From what I gather there must have been over a thousand citizens. They learned Japanese customs and traditions. But of course that was all destroyed during the evacuation of all Japanese Americans from west coast . In fact, the US govt had lists of all who lived on Vashon Islands. My parents who owned land and farming and furnishing lost all. Of course my parents never talked about it only in sports of memory. I've never been there. Of course I've been to Seattle. During the early 1950s, my entire family moved to Los Angeles. I wonder how many Japanese Americans came back to the island. But I assume most left and never returned.

There is Orthodox Christian Monastery, jewel of island!
