Public Art of Seattle

 

A statute of Chief Seattle

Just some public art I saw when walking around Seattle:




Fireman's Memorial




The Hammering Man has been outside of Seattle Art Museum for decades

And out by T-Mobile Park (Home of the Seattle Mariners) there is some cool stuff:


Hofer Ken Griffey Jr.

Hofer Edgar Martinez



And the University of Washington even gets into the act in honoring their great football head coaches:

Jim Owens

Don James

Seattle is a great place to walk around. There is a lot of public art there.
