On a walkabout downtown Seattle today I found this excellent totem pole made of motorcycle parts at the base of harborsteps.

Looks like a great place to start or end a journey!

Nice work!

That must be fairly new. I used to travel the harbor steps twice a day for many years.
I'll have to try and make it back down there to see this. I no longer work down there.

Sure. Here are a couple more. I just didn't like the background. Or those pesky people.  Lol





I think that it was installed last month.

Cool!, thanks for the full view pictures.

On second viewing of the initial closeups you provided, it sure looks like he's scratching or yanking it..   Lol

PS
The totem pole was removed from harbor steps when the exhibit ended. Not sure where it is now...
