Peace Park (Seattle)
Park in Seattle, Washington, United States
About
Peace Park is a park located in the University District of Seattle, Washington, near the corner of Northeast 40th Street and 9th Avenue Northeast, near the northern end of the University Bridge. Its construction was conceived and led by Floyd Schmoe, winner of the 1988 Hiroshima Peace Prize, and dedicated on August 6, 1990, 45 years after the atomic bombing of Hiroshima.
The park was home to a full-size bronze statue of Sadako Sasaki, sculpted by Darryl Smith, which was cut off above the ankles and stolen in July of 2024. Schoolchildren and other community members from around the city of Seattle frequently draped strings of peace cranes on the statue following the Japanese custom of the one thousand origami cranes.
