Sadako Returns

  • Post author:

Sadako, the iconic bronze sculpture of the Hiroshima survivor that has graced our side of the University Bridge, was vandalized this past summer. We just heard that she’s come home again, fixed and fit.

Alan Berner of the Seattle Times shot some beautiful photos of her repair and return: Sadako Sculpture Returns.

Welcome home.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Great bunch of photos! I drive by there 3-4 times a week and am very happy to see Sadako back where she belongs!
