They walk to bring attention to the horrors of nuclear war and to focus on a peaceful world.
Our local group interrupted the main walk to do a shorter walk of ten miles on Sunday, August 6.

They started in Kenmore and walked to Seattle to join the “Hiroshima to Hope” lantern floating event at Green Lake in the evening.
They will return to the Tacoma area to resume their main walk to the Trident base.
Thank you, Peace Walkers, for your countless steps for peace!
