There are always things that I miss about the last place I lived, and after leaving New York, I definitely miss the ART! I was nervous moving back to Seattle, and wondered if I’d be culturally starved. What I’ve come to realize is that art is EVERYWHERE, you just have to look a little harder for it. Someone told me that with all the new Amazon construction downtown, they have big budgets for landscaping and art. I started looking more closely and saw intricate iron work trellises, waterfalls, sculptures and handcrafted details. Check out some of the art I stumbled upon…
Street art murals line the train tracks in Sodo.
Post alley in Pike Place market has lots of wheat pastes and of course, the GUM alley.
The Artist and Craftsman supply store on 45th is one of the coolest art stores I’ve ever been too…decorated on the outside with street art.
Street art abounds in Capital Hill with rainbow striped crosswalks and art lurking everywhere!
Another mural in Sodo.
These were near Belltown, new construction with cool drain spouts growing plants, and ironwork fences in the form of maps.
Sculpture in front of Whole Foods, the GUM wall, and metal-work sculptures outside of the Allen Brain institute.
