Van Dusen to be honored for Garden of Surging Waves
Chinese New Year
Former Astoria Mayor Willis
Van Dusen will be honored Sun-
day in Portland for his hand in the
creation of the Garden of Surging
Waves.
The garden, which opened last
year at Heritage Square, recogniz-
es the role of Chinese immigrants
whose labor in the late 1800s helped
fuel Astoria’s cannery boom. Chi-
nese heritage in Astoria, including
the overt discrimination against im-
migrants, has often been an obscure
part of the city’s history.
The Chinese American Citizen’s
Alliance will honor Van Dusen at
a banquet Sunday evening in Port-
land marking the Lunar New Year.
Van Dusen, who served as Astoria
mayor for a record 24 years, will
be presented with the alliance’s 5th
Citizen’s Award for his leadership.
A bronze plaque marking Port-
land’s original Chinatown will also be
unveiled at the dinner. Suenn Ho, the
Portland urban designer behind the
Garden of Surging Waves, designed
the plaque.
