A.B. Ernst Park on North 35th Street
In the early years of community development, no park spaces were set aside in Fremont. Along North 35th Street there were a variety of businesses and private homes mixed together. The storefront building at 723 North 35th Street, in the block east of Fremont Avenue, was lived in by the Tamura family, who operated a dying and cleaning shop. In 1942 the family was sent to the Minidoka Internment Camp along with most other Japanese who had been living in Seattle. The Tamura family did not return to Fremont after the end of World War Two. Today the site of their house, located next door to the Fremont Branch Library, is the A.B. Ernst pocket park.
