In November 1885 a Tacoma mob marched the city's Chinese residents out of town in the rain and put them on a train south, a technique copied across the West afterwards and known as the Tacoma Method. Hai Ying Wu's sculpture stacks a hundred bronze crates on a 1909 rail car, because the railroad Chinese labour had helped build was the same one used to carry them away. The Chinese Reconciliation Project Foundation gave it to the city.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
