Photos by Dennis Withner
November 30, 1972
Dennis Withner, a student at Western Washington University in 1972, received word that something was going on at the gardens at 11th and Harris. Withner, majoring in Visual Communications with a minor in Photography arrived, camera in hand. The community gathered to protest the bulldozing of the garden, on property just purchased by Ken Imus.

The Community Gardens were at the site of the former Blonden Block, torn down in 1950. The empty site had been used as a community garden. The Terminal Building, (home to Tony's Coffee since the 1970s) is in the background.
