West Galer Flyover

Artist Vicki Scuri transforms an element of an otherwise utilitarian bridge with the application of a stylized wave pattern to retaining walls, while standard light poles are given artistic elaboration with custom brackets resembling both sails and marine animals. The nautical theme of the flyover acts as a gateway to Magnolia and Interbay and provides references to the nearby waterfront.

Alki Beach

The relationship of memories as they are attached to place is the primary focus of this project. Collaborating with the three artists, a whole community has engaged in remembering the history of this place. The act of sharing memories has imbued this artwork with a pluralist view that will allow generations of viewers to share in the collective memory of the West Seattle community.

Eastlake Avenue

The artworks located along the Eastlake Avenue East corridor were commissioned as part of the Combined Sewer Outflow project, an infrastructure improvement plan designed to accommodate the dramatic business development the community experienced in the mid '90s. The Eastlake Community Council worked with the city to select artists for the projects and organized fundraising efforts to help finance the project
