—Sharon Soames has been an avid reader of the Bainbridge Island Review since settling into an 1870s mill home on Blakely Harbor in 1972. She said its focus on community and Kitsap County keeps us connected. As change happens, the paper is a source for historical records and a great resource for holding on to the facts of Bainbridge’s past.
The Bainbridge Island community gathered at the Japanese American Exclusion Memorial March 30 to remember the 227 residents who were forcibly removed 81 years ago.
