“Mapes Creek, or dxʷwuqʷəb in Lushootseed, has its source in the natural area beyond Kubota Gardens, where it flows through the necklace of ponds created by Fujitaro Kubota. The daylit creek continues through the yəhaw center, (Indigenous Creatives Collaborative) and Sturtevant Ravine before entering a pipe beneath central Rainier Beach. It again opens to the sky in a newly restored riparian zone on the south side of Be’er Sheva Park where it enters Lake Washington.”

Kubota Garden is a Japanese Garden in the southeast corner of Seattle, Washington. Created in 1927 by Fujitaro Kubota, Kubota Garden is all the more impressive, not only for its beauty, but for the fact that Mr. Kubota was able to create it despite the discrimination endured by Asian Americans during the early 20th century. Worse yet, in 1942, Fujitaro Kubota and his family were sent to Minidoka Internment Camp. Amazingly, after being released from internment at the end of World War II, Fujitaro Kubota went back to creating his extraordinary garden.
