Jerry Taylor Veterans Plaza is a plaza with a veterans memorial in Sunnyside, Washington. The plaza was dedicated in 1977, named for former Sunnyside mayor and World War II veteran Jerry Taylor.[1][2]
An effort to rebuild the plaza as a veterans memorial began at least as early as 2006.[3] Construction of the memorial began in 2014,[1] with four panels by 2016,[4] and as of 2021, the memorial consisted of nineteen 6,000-pound (2,700 kg) blocks of granite spanning the length of a city block on South 9th Street.[5] The memorial is planned to contain 42 blocks when done and will be the largest such memorial in the Pacific Northwest.[1] In addition to lists of names of servicemembers, some panels contain informative text on post-traumatic stress disorder or other issues relevant to veterans' affairs. One of the components of the installation is a 9/11 memorial.
