Floor decal from All the Best Pet Care, "Please keep 3 Doodles apart," 2020
No full textDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the CDC recommended “social distancing” which included standing at least six feet apart from others while in public spaces. Many businesses used stickers or other markings on the floor to keep patrons six feet apart while lining up to pay. Some, like All the Best Pet Care in Seattle, got creative with their signage. This sticker is part of a humorous series that used the sizes of common pets to visualize the distance.1 Sign, Instructional; Materials: plastic; Dimensions: 18 in.Dia
Black Lives Matter sign from March of Silence, June 12, 2020
No full textIn the summer of 2020, protests against police brutality and systemic anti-Black racism broke out across the United States in response to the murder of George Floyd, a Black man, by police officers in Minneapolis in May 2020. The protests were associated with the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. In Seattle, protesters formed the Capitol Hill Occupied Protest (CHOP; also called the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ), which occupied several blocks near Cal Anderson Park and forced the Seattle Police Department to temporarily evacuate its East Precinct building.
This sign was held during the March of Silence protest on June 12, 2020. A white worker in the tech sector, who had not previously participated in protests against racism, carried the sign as one of 60,000 protesters marching about two miles in silence from Judkins Park in the Central Area to Jefferson Park in Beacon Hill. The march was silent as a sign of respect for the Black people whose lives were damaged or destroyed by racism, and to minimize risks of spreading COVID-19 by shouting or singing. The donor created this cardboard sign from part of a Halloween costume which featured a painted goose image. One side features the goose, with a police hat drawn on, inside a “no” symbol. The donor wrote “Defund Police” above the goose and “Listen Learn Support BLM” on the other side.Caption information source: “An estimated 60,000 participate in a March of Silence in Seattle to protest police brutality and institutional racism on June 12, 2020.” By Rita Cipalla, HistoryLink, retrieved from https://www.historylink.org/File/21088.1 sign: cardboard; 18 x 21.5 in

Farming in the Time of Pandemic
No full textThis project is based off of oral interviews, recorded and transcribed, with Thurston County farmers: Ann Petricola and Joel Baranick of Ellis Creek Farm and Kevin Jensen of Riverbend Ranch. The research essay explores the immediate trends seen in small farms during the first four months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spring 2020. In a time of great uncertainty and fear, small farms across the US suddenly saw a spike in interest for direct to consumer sales while also facing processing bottlenecks and financial uncertainty. The experiences of Ellis Creek Farm and Riverbend Ranch paint a picture of small farms as safe, flexible, and community oriented sources of food and highlight some of the specific challenges they have faced during this time
Greg Tanbara interview
No full textIn this interview, Greg Tanbara discusses his multifaceted connections with University of Washington Tacoma and Tacoma as a city. He begins by sharing his family history, tracing back to the early 1900s, when his grandparents immigrated and settled in today's downtown neighborhood of Tacoma, then a vibrant Japantown; his narration goes through World War II, when the residents were forced into internment, and into the mid-20th century. He recounts childhood memories living in the Japanese Language School building and participating in activities at the Tacoma Buddhist Temple, both of which were or are located on the present-day UW Tacoma campus. As an employee in multiple municipal offices from the late 1970s onward, Tanbara recalls discussions around a UW campus in Tacoma among local circles, including groups such as the Executive Council and individuals like Ryan Petty. At the end of the interview, Tanbara reflects on UW Tacoma's relationship with the neighborhood and local community, sharing his perspective on the university's role related to the history of Japantown and Tacoma.Gregory Tanbara was born in Seattle, Washington, in 1953. He and his family moved to Tacoma when he was about two years old, and he has lived and worked in Tacoma almost his entire life. Currently employed at the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department, he has also advised University of Washington Tacoma faculty and staff on a number of projects, including the Japanese Language School Memorial, "Maru." Previously, he has worked for the City of Tacoma and for the Washington State Employment Security Department. His maternal family owned and took care of the Japanese Language School building before it was purchased by UW Tacoma in 1993. The building, now no longer standing, was a monument of the once-flourishing Japantown, which overlapped with the current footprint of the UW Tacoma campus. As a longtime resident of Tacoma, Tanbara has witnessed firsthand the transformation of the city over the past seven decades, as well as the community's investment in the establishment and growth of UW Tacoma.The oral history interview with Greg Tanbara was part of the “Founding Stories” phase of the UW Tacoma Oral History Project.To request a high resolution or uncompressed reproduction, or to obtain permission to use any portion of this item, contact University of Washington Tacoma Library.
