Sadako Sasaki (佐々木 禎子) was born in 1943. Two years later, she survived the Hiroshima nuclear blast, but later suffered from radiation poisoning, succumbing to her illness at the age of 12. Before her death, she folded over 1,000 cranes, hoping they would heal her. Her older brother continues to share her story and advocate for peace: sadakosasaki.com/meet-the-auth

Here's the statue of Sadako Sasaki near the University Bridge in Seattle, covered in snow. While there's not too much snow accumulation at lower elevations this afternoon, streets and sidewalks are slick in spots, so take care around town, especially on hills and steep grades.

Thanks to King County Metro bus operators, SDOT snow crews and others doing their best to keep things moving on surface streets!
